When sailors assigned to Naval Special Warfare (NSW) as Support Technicians check on-board they often arrive with limited experience in expeditionary warfare.
New NSW Support Technicians are offered the Level I Basic Soldiering Skills Course which provides them the training required to perform their jobs and, when needed, deliver tactical support to their team in a warzone.
