Having trained more than 12,000
international students from more than 120 Partner nations,
Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School
(NAVSCIATTS) trains and educates foreign Special Operations
Forces across the tactical, operational and strategic
spectrums through in-residence and Mobile Training Team
Courses of Instruction.
NAVSCIATTS Courses of
Instruction include operations, repairs, sustainment of
craft (both riverine and littoral), communications, weapons,
small unit tactics, range safety, UAS, intel fusion
operations as well as follow-on Partner Nation instructor
development for all of the aforementioned courses. While the
name implies, "naval" and "small craft," more than half of
the current courses apply to any security force.
In
addition, NAVSCIATTS has the ability to meet emergent
requirements from operational commanders. As SOCOM's premier
BY…WITH…and THROUGH DoD unit, NAVSCIATTS' five
regionally-focused in-resident training semesters assist in
developing, shaping, and maintaining strategic relationships
with diverse Partner forces. By harnessing these vital
relationships, this enables the protection of United States'
investments and also advances the interests of the U.S. and
its Partner Nations.
NAVSCIATTS has a proven
methodology for Building Partner Capacity. We "Train the
Trainers" using a combination of in-resident and mobile
training team engagements. The mobile training team
engagements are used as follow-on to in-resident training
and utilize the NAVSCIATTS-trained Partner Nation trainers
as the Instructor Cadre. This provides the ability for our
Partner Nation trainers to establish credibility as Subject
Matter Experts and allows NAVSCIATTS to critique and provide
continued mentorship.
One of, if not the primary
benefit of training with NAVSCIATTS, is
relationship-building. Many of our alumni remain in contact
with the staff in regards to professional matters, such as
evolving technologies or ever present training
opportunities. The ability to provide training across course
curriculums also provides an invaluable training opportunity
and the formation of relationships. In-resident training
provides the opportunity for students to network and
socialize with other Security Force professionals from
around the world. Offering the ability to form professional
and personal bonds that reach across oceans and continents,
NAVSCIATTS has allowed for the establishment of networks
that have provided assistance in counter-terrorism,
counternarcotic and counter human trafficking operations in
a global environment.
