The Special Warfare Orientation Course (SWOC) at #USAFA challenges cadets through two weeks of physically and mentally demanding training designed to prepare them for the rigors of special warfare selection.
 
Cadets were exposed to:
🪖 𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠
🎯 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥-𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬
⚔️ 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲
 
"SWOC has given me a great foundation and more confidence as I hope to enter the special warfare pipeline in a few years," said C3C Daniel Lam.
 
The program has contributed to a 20% increase in Special Warfare officer selectees while helping develop more capable leaders, teammates and future warfighters.
