Cadets participating in Combat Survival Training are taught water survival principles and undergo hands-on training such as high wind drags, canopy disentanglement, life raft living, and team cohesion. Training is built to resemble isolation events, such as when WWII pilot and Olympian 2nd Lt. Louis Zamperini survived 47 days at sea after his plane was lost. #CombatSurvivalTraining #WarriorEthos #USAFA2026 #WaterSurvival #futurefight
