"Psychological and physical challenges in SERE courses: a comprehensive analysis of survival, avoidance, resistance and escape training"

Abstract: SERE training courses, which stand for "survival, avoidance, resistance, and escape," are designed to prepare military and civilian forces to deal with emergency situations and the possibility of captivity. This article examines the history, evolution, goals, and content of SERE courses, with a special emphasis on real experiences and practical advice that can help increase survival skills and resilience in difficult situations. Also, this paper analyzes practical exercises and simulated scenarios that allow participants to practice the skills necessary to face potential challenges in controlled environments. Advanced SERE courses are taught to SAS Special Forces and US Marines and NATO. For a better understanding of the training, it is necessary to read the book US Army Survival manual FM 21-76, which was translated and rewritten by Dr. Nouradin Jafari Hezarany. key words: - SERE training - survive - avoid - resistance - Escape - Mental preparation - Simulation exercises - Real experiences - Practical recommendations - stress management
