The Basic Course is an intensive combination of classroom and field training that provides students with the opportunity to complete all requirements for a Basic Ground Team Member rating, including Basic First Aid and Basic Communications User Training.
The first day training day will include an inspection of each student’s field gear. No student will be allowed to interrupt training to go shopping for new or replacement gear. Students must ensure they arrive with the gear, as specified in the National Emergency Services Academy Gear List. There are no opportunities for students to acquire gear during the activity. It is imperative that students use the task guide and NESA’s packing list to insure they have all required gear.
This course will include overnights in the field, search operations, and cross-country travel. Students will be required to construct and sleep in field expedient shelters; no tents are allowed.
Graduation requires completion of 100% of the task requirements. This course will include some overnights in the field, wilderness search operations, cross-country travel, etc. Those completing the course successfully will be eligible for their CAPF 101 ground team qualification (GTM3) and ground team badge.
NOTE Travel: Participants are responsible for their own travel arrangements. Transportation will be arranged for those flying into Indianapolis International Airport. We must know travel arrangments in advance to make arrangements. |
