Some questions I have about the U.S. military's training and special forces
- Can a new army recruit that has completed basic training attend the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (SWCS) for their Advanced Individual Training School without having to have any other prerequisite training?
- Once a soldier has completed the SWCS, what is the next step for them? Are they assigned to a certain unit or group, are they able to choose a special forces group to try and qualify for, are they able to try and complete more specialized training like Airborne School or the United States Army Sniper School, etc.?
- I read that in order to become a member of the 75th Ranger Regiment, a candidate must complete Airborne School. Is completing Airborne School a part of the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program, or is it something that would be taken separately?
- Realistically, what is the youngest age that someone could be and join the 75th Ranger Regiment?
- In terms of what is taught, are there any major differences between the Special Forces Sniper Course (SFSC), the Marine Scout Sniper Course, and the United States Army Sniper School? Would there be any benefit for a soldier to take more than one of them?
