Wartime examples include personnel who operate forward of the FLOT such as Special Forces, pathfinders, selected aviators, flying crewmembers, and members of Ranger battalions. Peacetime examples include personnel who have a high risk of being taken hostage by terrorists or being detained by a hostile government in a peacetime environment. Examples include Special Forces, selected military attaches, members of Ranger battalions, and anyone in special support missions near conflict areas.” — CPT Erik Olsen, SERE Resistance Training OIC Why Conduct SERE Training? SERE Level C History The first SERE Level C course was conducted at Camp Mackall, North Carolina, in 1986. LTC Nick Rowe, a Special Forces Officer and former POW during the Vietnam War, developed the first course. In 1998 it became mandatory that all Special Forces candidates attend SERE prior to assignment to an SF group. In 2014, AR 350-1 was updated to require all Officers who have branched Aviation to graduate SERE Level C prior to attending flight school.
