The recently proposed resistance to interrogation instructor course based on the UK training course (CANFORGEN 025/05) seems like an unusual step for the CF.Kinda refreshing to see that someone is actually putting thought into training again.
 
I am all for this kind of training. My impression is that we pay lip service (or no service at all...) to the whole business of being captured. This is strange, considering that the past decade has seen a number of Canadians captured or otherwise illegally detained in FRY, etc. As well, the current type of threat we seem to be facing makes hostage taking and torture far more likely than they have been in the past. IMHO this should be taught in a realistic, demanding manner and should be integrated into exercises.

Can anybody currently serving in a Regular Cbt A unit fill us in on the state of this training currently? I haven't seen it done for years.

Cheers
 
Volunteers are being requested to be screened for 40 positions to attend a one day assesment course from which 20 pers will be loaded on a four week RTI course.

These 20 will provide summer training wherever dnd troops require training until a RTI school can be established.
 
Must be MCpl or higher.  I do know that the guys that run the SERE school have to go to the Brits and Americans versions and go through all the training including the interrogation phase.
 
Good training but hard on the body.It's about time this course was offered to the rest of the CF,as long as it is not watered down and pussified like most courses are now I'm all for it.
 
I saw that someone mentioned Mcpl or higher. Does that extend officers? Is this available to them or is it one of those (practically anyway) non-com only deals?
 
"MCpl or Higher" usually imples leadership qualification, so yes, Officers would qualify.  Remember, the course in discussion is a "RI" Instructor, as there is no point giving the course to those who are not qualified to teach other soldiers.
 
Lt/Capt rank of any MOC, Mcpl and above from any MOC (being fully qualified in their MOC)
 
Interesting.
I saw the CANFORGEN at work, it looks interesting.

I will inquire more about it.
 
Look what is happening to the ADF regarding this kind of training.

Could definitely see people whining about it here.

 
Post the Can For Gen. if it does not go against OpSec.
This sounds very interesting.
Is it all All in the C.F.?
