STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. -- International security force professionals from Colombia and Paraguay complete their final training exercise prior to graduating from NAVSCIATTS' Patrol Craft Officer - Riverine (PCO-R) course during Semester 25-1.
PCO-R is an eight-week course of instruction designed to provide Foreign Security Force personnel with the specialized training necessary to effectively plan and safely execute patrol craft security actions supporting the interdiction of illicit contraband, counter-narcotic/counter-terrorism operations, and waterborne special operations in the riverine environment. Students learn to perform mission planning, craft operational checks, and riverine navigation using maps, charts, and onboard electronic navigating equipment. Students will also employ onboard crew-served weapons, conduct security patrols using night vision goggles, conduct vessel board and search, and transport ground forces.
NAVSCIATTS is a security cooperation schoolhouse operating under U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command in support of geographic combatant commands' theater security cooperation priorities. To date, this historic command has trained with more than 14,500 students from approximately 130 partner nations. (U.S. Navy photo by Sharon M. Mock)
