As American Airmen, we are all warriors. As warriors, assigned and deployed to locations around the globe, we increasingly find ourselves fulfilling non-traditional roles in exceedingly dangerous environments. To ensure Airmen are equipped for the challenges we face on today’s battlefield, Air Force leaders are broadening the focus of survival, evasion, resistance and escape training. This training, called SERE 100, is mandatory for all Airmen.
Currently, SERE training is conducted on three levels. All Airmen receive entrylevel, or A-level, training. B-level is provided to those with a moderate risk of capture, and C-level is reserved for those with a high risk of capture. B- and C-level training are provided primarily to aircrew members and those in traditionally high-risk duties.
SERE 100 is a computer-based training course that will satisfy the Air Force Chief of Staff’s vision—and theater requirements—for minimum baseline SERE preparation for all Airmen. Here are a few facts Airmen should know about SERE 100:
All Active Duty Airmen are required to complete SERE 100 training by June 30. Guard and Reserve commanders may grant an extension until Oct. 30.
The training takes approximately four hours to complete.
Currency for SERE 100 CBT will be once every 20 months to ensure Airmen are aligned with individual Air Expeditionary Force cycles.
There are two SERE 100 messages; however, the message dated January 2008 reflects the most current, accurate guidance. The October 2007 message is obsolete.
The SERE 100 CBT is located on the Advanced Distributed Learning System Web site at https:⁄⁄golearn.csd.disa.mil. The course is organized within the mobility and readiness section of ADLS. Airmen can also access ADLS via the Air Force Portal. For more information about SERE 100, contact your unit deployment monitor or your local or Major Command SERE functional manager.
