USAF Special Forces - Survival Evasion Resistance Escape (SERE) ... Through training, you will Uniform patch The depicted SERE patch is said[citation needed] to have the following symbolic significance: the color green represents freedom; the patch is halved with a yellow strip to signify that survival, evasion, resistance and escape all require caution, with the knife the basic survival tool; the severed barbed wire represents captivity but freedom regained; the word tiger in Chinese (虎) alludes to the Here be dragons/tigers legend found on early maps; finally, the black surround honors symbolically those who have died on active duty.

[edit] Curriculum The curriculum has three key parts: survival and evasion; resistance and escape; and water survival; some parts are classified.

[edit] Survival and evasion Most of SERE training focuses on survival and evasion. Skills taught include woodcraft and wilderness survival in all types of climate. This includes what is known as emergency first aid, a variant of the battlefield variety, land navigation, camouflage techniques, methods of evasion, communication protocols, and how to make improvised tools.

[edit] Resistance and escape Training on how to survive and resist the enemy in the event of capture is largely based on the experiences of past US and allied prisoners of war.

[edit] Water survival How to survive in water is taught at a separate Professional Military Education (PME) course; it takes three days and is typically attended after the main SERE course. In addition to training in the use of aquatic survival gear, more academic skills include first aid tailored to an aquatic environment, communication protocols, ocean ecology,[citation needed] and equipment maintenance.

[edit] Code of conduct SERE training is intended, above all, to provide students with the skills needed to live up to the US military code of conduct when in uncertain or hostile environments. It is:

1. I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.
2. I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.
3. If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and to aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
4. If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information nor take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them up in every way.
5. When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability, I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause.
6. I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.[1][2]

[edit] Levels SERE training takes place at four levels:

• Level A: Entry level training. These are the Code of Conduct mandatory classes taken by all at induction (recruit training and OCS). All service personnel get this basic training annually.
• Level B: For those operating or expected to operate forward of the division rear boundary and up to the forward line of own troops (FLOT). Normally limited to aircrew of the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps. Level B focuses on survival and evasion, with resistance in terms of initial capture.
• Level C: For troops at a high risk of capture and whose position, rank or seniority make them vulnerable to greater than average exploitation efforts by any captor. Level C focuses on resistance in terms of prison camps.
• Level D: For aircrews, but more recently phased out; what would have been SERE-D students in future undergo SERE-C training at Fairchild (see below).

[edit] Service schools [edit] Army SERE training is included in the flight school curriculum at Fort Rucker, Alabama for all Army Flight crews, both commissioned officers and warrant officers. It is the full course of 21 days. There is also a school at Camp Mackall for candidates in the Special Forces pipeline[3].

[edit] Air Force Graphic of Air Force SERE Flash, which is worn on a sage (light-green) beret The primary Air Force SERE training center is at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington; training for Level "B" medical aircrew was conducted at Brooks City-Base, Texas until the planned course closure 30 September 2009. The Air Force conducts arctic survival training at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, and parachute water survival training at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida.

SERE training was also conducted at the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs from the late 1960s until 1995, enabling those USAF officers commissioned through USAFA to exempt USAF SERE training at Fairchild AFB following undergraduate pilot or navigator training. In contrast, those USAF officers commissioned through AFROTC or OTS still had to complete SERE at Fairchild following flight training. In 1995, the resistance/escape element of the course at USAFA was abolished (see Controversies below), leaving the survival and evasion classes in a program called Combat Survival Training (CST). The academy discontinued CST entirely in 2005, but has more recently announced the reinstatement of the program, including some portions of resistance training, in summer 2008.[4] Now, all USAFA graduates selected for pilot, air battle manager, or navigator training must complete SERE training at Fairchild after receiving their wings, along with their AFROTC and OTS graduate counterparts.

[edit] Navy/Marine Corps Level A is taught to recruits and candidates in Officer Candidate School and the Recruit Depots, or under professional military education.

Level B at the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center, Bridgeport, California, and at the North Training Area, Camp Gonsalves, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.

Level C is held at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kittery, Maine at the Navy Remote Training Site, Rangeley, and at Naval Air Station North Island, California at the Navy Remote Training Site, Warner Springs. This installation provides 'Code of Conduct' that is necessary for Recon Marines, MARSOC Marines, Navy SEALs, enlisted Navy and Marine Aircrewman, Naval Aviators, Naval Flight Officers, Naval Flight Surgeons, and Navy SWCC. As the "eyes" and "ears" of the commander, they carry knowledge of sensitive battlefield information.

The training encompasses those basic skills necessary for worldwide survival, facilitating search and rescue efforts, evading capture by hostile forces. It is based on and reinforces the values expressed in the Code of Conduct while maintaining an appropriate balance of sound educational methodology and realistic/stressful training scenarios.

Additional survival training in Level C Code of Conduct may include the five-day Peacetime Detention and Hostage Survival (PDAHS) course. This training provides the skills to survive captivity by a hostile government or terrorist cell during peacetime.

Did you notice the power-grid failure during the recent Monday Night Football extravaganza in San Francisco? Well, the self-described environmentalists and their extremist regulations have led to America's precarious electrical infrastructure. The reality is we're just a major snowstorm away from failing power grids in major population centers throughout the country. I have a prediction: this could easily be the worst winter in a long time. No, I haven't been studying the farmers' almanac or the markings on woolly bear caterpillars. My prediction for rough sledding ahead is based on much more reliable indicators:

• State and municipal budgets are running deeply in the red, putting a major squeeze on snow removal and winter road maintenance.
• America's electric and utility infrastructure is another year older and more vulnerable than ever.
• War between Iran and Israel is more likely than ever, and when it does break out in this oil-rich region, a global energy crisis is likely to ensue in short order.
• And as seen in recent crime blotter reports related to Black Friday and Occupy Wall Street, the bounds of what passes for acceptable behavior in the public square have sunk to new lows; you sure don't want to find yourself competing with the masses for the last loaf of bread, jug of milk, or gas-powered generator when winter's fury is unleashed in your community!

All this means you want to leave no stone unturned in getting ready for this winter's storms and power outages. In an earlier issue of the Ready-For-Anything Report, I told you how to prepare your "stay bag." That's a kit with everything in it that you'll need to stay warm, toasty, and well fed should you get stuck in a power outage this winter. But being prepared to shelter in place is just one of the ways in which you need to be prepared. Perhaps the coming holiday week is good time to get your family, your house, and your car ready for winter's worst... Quick Reminder: Ten Things to Keep You Comfortable
During a Winter Power Outage When you're left without power in freezing temperatures, you'll find yourself quickly driven from your home if you're not prepared. Remember those surprise snowstorms that struck the east coast just a few weeks ago? In the wake of heavy snows, some areas were left without power for more than a week. Many, if not most, had to turn to shelters, hotels, or relatives to stay warm. Only a few were actually ready to weather the storm and its aftermath at home. So, this is just a quick reminder of what you want to have on hand in case bad weather knocks your power out:

• A propane heater specifically designed and labeled for indoor use
• Warm clothes for the whole family
• Sleeping bags for the family
• A propane camp stove
• Extra propane
• LED flashlights and lanterns or solar-powered lights.
• Extra batteries
• Matches or butane lighter
• A hand-crank radio
• A traditional, corded, land-line telephone that does not have a separate jack that goes to an electric receptacle

As I said, though... there's more to winter preparation than being ready for a power outage. Get Your Home Ready for Winter's Worst and Save a Pile of Money Even if the power stays on, bad winter weather could cost you hundreds, even thousands of dollars in damage to your home if you don't get it ready before hand. Burst pipes, damaged shingles, and drafty windows and doors can cost you thousands. Fortunately, with a few simple steps, you can protect your home from winter doing its worst. First, give your home's exterior a visual inspection. Are any of the gutters coming away from the house? Are any of the downspouts disconnected? These things need to be prepared before big rain or snowstorms hit. Check to make sure water coming out of downspouts travels away from your house – you don't want it to collect and freeze around your foundation. Pick up flexible plastic extensions if necessary; very cheap at any major home center. Next, take some time to clear your gutters. When gutters clog and freeze, water can easily seep into walls and under eaves, leaving you with huge repair bills.
Wrap any outdoor pipes or pipes that aren't in insulated spaces of your home in those foam rubber sleeves you can pick up at the hardware store. And, shut off water to any pressurized sprinkler systems. Next, check your house over for obvious air leaks. Drafts can add extra dollars to your heating bill, so it does pay to find the worst offenders and fix them. You'll usually find that your doors and windows are where the drafts are the worst. Something as simple as placing a rolled up blanket on the floor in front of exterior doors can be a big help. You can also use weather stripping on windows to help seal smaller drafts. If you don't have double-paned windows, now is the time to put up your storm windows if you haven't already. And you can often get free and surprising useful advice just by asking a clerk or a manager at a home center. You'll be amazed at the number of useful and affordable energy saving devices they have to offer. Then, decide if it's time to give your furnace and hot water heater a check up. Ideally, you should have a professional come in and tune up these appliances every other year. If it's been years since your last service call, it's definitely time to make an appointment. Having a professional do regular, routine maintenance on your furnace and hot-water heater can extend the life of each and can make sure you get through the winter without any major disruptions. Finally, test your smoke alarms and install a carbon monoxide alarm if you don't already have one. Get Your Car Ready for Winter Emergencies Your home isn't the only thing that should be ready to weather a tough winter. You want to have an emergency kit in your car, too, so that you and your loved ones can stay safe in the event of a cold weather breakdown. Just imagine if your car gets a flat or your engine shuts down inexplicably and you're miles from a service station. If it's freezing out, you're in for a pretty miserable time. Even with a cell phone to call for help, you could end up shivering, teeth chattering, waiting for help to arrive. So, make sure you have an emergency kit with the following items inside your car:

• Food and Water: Keep a couple of high-energy snacks and some bottled water in your car and within easy reach. In the event of an accident, if for some reason you can't get to the trunk, you'll want to be able to reach these items, so consider keeping them up in the passenger space.
• Blankets and Hand-warmers: Keep a couple of those lightweight, easy-to-store, highly insulating blankets with the food and water. A couple of those chemical hand-warmer packs are a good idea, too.
• First-aid Kit: Make sure you have a first-aid kit well stocked with bandages and antibiotic ointment. You can keep aspirin, antacids, and other medications in there as well, but the primary purpose of your car's first-aid kit is to treat minor injuries.
• Contact Numbers and Quarters: Hopefully you'll have a charged, undamaged cell phone in your possession in the event of an emergency, but just in case you don't, keep emergency contact information a few quarters handy so you can call for help the old-fashioned way. Quarters can also come in handy if you need to inflate a leaky tire.
• Flashlight and Batteries: If it's dark outside and you break down or get into a wreck, a source of light can be critical to getting your car back on the road or getting your family to safety.
• Our best-selling E-PACK: This survival pack is loaded up with the very necessities of life (including many of the items listed above)... and even a few well chosen "creature comforts" to help (literally) weather any storm, whether an Act of God or some type of man-made disaster. Learn more how to get yours here.

In addition to basic safety supplies, you also want to keep a few handy things for the car in your trunk:

• Jumper Cables: A heavy-duty set of jumper cables can get you moving again fast if you come out of a store or restaurant only to find your car battery is dead. Don't go with the cheap ones, they take too long to recharge your battery. Even if you never use them for your own car, they can make you a hero to someone else.
• Motor Oil and Antifreeze: Keep a spare container of each on hand, just in case of a leak. A roll of duct tape can also come in handy in case of a leaky radiator hose.
• Emergency Flares or Reflectors: They can draw attention to your need for help and keep passing cars from hitting you.
• Tire Jack, Lug Wrench, and a Spare Tire: A flat tire is one of the most common reasons for a breakdown. Having the tools and know-how to get yourself back on the road is a valuable skill... especially in the cold weather. But don't try to change a tire yourself unless you can do so safely – well away from travel lanes.
• Basic Tool Box: Keeping a basic tool kit in your car trunk is a smart move. You never know when you may have to improvise, and it's always easier to do so when you have the right tools for whatever job you're faced with.

Snow smacks Northeast; power could be out for days A snowstorm with a ferocity more familiar in February than October socked the Northeast over the weekend, knocking out power to 2.3 million, snarling air and highway travel and dumping more than 2 feet of snow in a few spots as it slowly moved north out of New England. Officials warned it could be days before many see electricity restored

Will we see this in Oklahoma This winter? 

Reducing the Risks Important Numbers and Addresses
Your family may not be together when an  earthquake strikes, so use the spaces below to
record information that will help you communicate with one another. Remember, during the  rest 24
hours following a major earthquake, use your telephone only in case of an emergency.
Have on Hand for Any Emergency –Ideas for Home, Workplace, and Car
Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake occurs, prepare a Disaster Supplies Kit for
 your home, workplace, and car.❏ Water. Store at least 1 gallon of water per person per day and be prepared for a 72-hour
period. A normally active person needs at least ½ gallon of water daily just for drinking.
In determining adequate quantities, take the following into account:
• Individual needs vary depending on age, physical condition, activity, diet, and climate. • Children, nursing mothers, and ill people need more water. •
❏ Food. It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of non-perishable food on hand that can be rotated into your diet and replenished  on a regular basis. Have a sufsufficient supply

A A growing global food shortage has caused prices to double in recent years, and a growing consensus of scientists now blames climate change as one factor in an equation that includes a burgeoning population and increasingly scarce water supplies. More people around the planet are going hungry as a result. 
Even as prices have also risen in the United States, most residents may not grasp the scope and severity of the problem.
Americans toss about 40 percent of their food in the garbage, according to a 2009 study. In this country, food waste per person has increased 50 percent since 1974. 

A Plan to Fight Food Shortage - Wall Street Journal online.wsj.com/....Jun 20, 2011 – Farm ministers from large economies are likely to establish an international food-stock database this week and agree to reduce some trade ...How to Survive the Coming Food Shortage
You’ve been warned in the news. It’s all over the place. Food prices are going up. In part, this is because of a falling dollar. In part, it is because of the use of farmland to raise corn for fuel. Even more of a concern is the bees’ colony collapse disorder. Pesticides kill bugs---so why wouldn’t they weaken bees as well? 

All of these factors mean THE END OF CHEAP FOOD. The following suggestions will enable you to live on a lot less food while also getting into the best health ever! But forget about the usual ways of food hoarding: stockpiling cans of beans, pasta, wheat. Wheat has been called “the staff of life” because of its long shelf life and because it is cheap. Think again, however, if you want to be healthy. Wheat causes a lot of health problems---even mental disorders in some people. http://www.mercola.com/2003/jul/26/avoid_wheat.htm

  This is an excellent video that views the point of injury and care of a victim of an IED.  This is VERY GRAPHIC!. Some strong language.  It last for 25-30 minutes. This reinforces why training in emergency care is important.
