Soldiers of the 10th Wroclaw Communications Brigade took part in 1 of the most demanding trainings which is carried out in the Armed Forces of Poland, the SERE course. Intensive training in survival, avoidance, opposition in captivity and escape is not only a test of skill and training, but above all a test of physical and intellectual resilience.
SERE training (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) is considered 1 of the most demanding training projects in the Polish Army. Its intent is to prepare soldiers to act in an isolated situation from their own forces, in an area controlled by the opponent. In specified conditions, not only combat training, but besides intellectual immunity and the ability to make rational decisions under force are important.
During the course, soldiers of the 10th Wrocław Communication Brigade improved their skills of endurance in hard terrain, water and food acquisition, construction of improvised shelters and navigation without utilizing modern method means. An crucial part of the training was besides the techniques of secretive movement and masking, avoiding detection by the opponent.
"SERE is simply a training that exhausts physically, but above all mentally. The deficiency of sleep, hunger, constant force and the request to keep cold blood teach humility and show how crucial cooperation and trust in their own skills is," stresses 1 of the soldiers of the 10th Wroclaw Communications Brigade, who managed to complete the course.
"A man learns very rapidly that details find survival. Dry socks, appropriate care for feet and immediate consequence to abrasions were absolutely crucial. Any negligence in this respect could have meant immediate elimination from further training. This experience shows how crucial self-discipline and work and its equipment are" adds another of the soldiers of the 10th Wroclaw Communications Brigade.
Unlike the classical survival, which aims at lasting survival, SERE training focuses on a fast and safe return to its own strength. The secrecy of the action, avoiding signaling its presence and minimising the hazard of detection are crucial.
The participation of soldiers of the 10th Wrocław Communication Brigade in the SERE training, confirms the advanced level of determination and preparation of Wrocław Communicationians to carry out tasks even in the most demanding conditions of the battlefield. The completion of the course is besides an investment in competences that can, under real conditions, find the success and safety of soldiers.
