FORT RUCKER, Ala. — It’s the Army’s most notorious training school available to conventional troops.
Survival, evasion, resistance and escape. Level-C SERE training, which is mandatory for pilots and Army special operations personnel, is intended to help prepare troops to “return with honor” if they are isolated or captured by the enemy.
Much of the training at the service’s two Level-C schools at Camp Mackall, North Carolina, and Fort Rucker is classified, which has led to myths filling the vacuum.
Tall tales describe SERE as a “torture school” where instructors have license to intentionally break students’ bones during the interrogation resistance phase of the course.
