Results are reviewed against the published standard. Every candidate receives a decision and feedback within one week.
05
Training phase
Selected members begin the four-discipline syllabus: land navigation, medical, comms, and firearms safety.

02
Withdraw at any time
A candidate may stop at any point, for any reason, without penalty or question.
