Success Equals (0-10 poor) (11-19 good) (20-30 excellent) REPLY TO AOSO-SFT-CO (350-1d) MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION 21 September 1992 SUBJECT: Special Operations Training (SOT) and Close Quarters 1. SOT/CQB training is a non-exportable, high-risk, perishable skill developed and taught to specific units with a directed mission of specific military operations on urbanized-terrain. 3rd SFG (A) does not have a Mission Essential Task List (METL) which encompasses this skill. The course Memorandum of Instruction (MOI) specifies for a good reason that foreign students are not eligible for the training. The proliferation of the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) disseminated in this course has adverse consequences for the units tasked with maintaining and using these skills in a hostile environment. 2. 3rd SFG(A) will continue to participate in schools teaching the basic marksmanship and operations associated with SOT in order to incorporate the ancillary benefits of this training in our day to day operations. This training is specifically allowed for internal use only and will not be disseminated outside the Group. There is a wide gulf between infantry Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain (MOUT) and SOT/CQB. MOUT is defined in FM 7-8 and does not involve mixed friend/foe situations or the need for discriminatory 'shooting. I 3. The Group cannot hope to maintain the level of proficiency, currency and skill necessary to effectively teach and disseminate this skill on an on-going basis without adversely diverting assets needed elsewhere. rd SPG(A) VIII ́not solicit or accept ad hoc requests for this type of training. No other type of high-risk, perishable skill training would be undertaken with less than adequate trainingy this will not be an exception. 4. The following will be strictly adhered to with respect to inquiries and discussions of SOT/CQB: a) 3rd SFG(A) will not teach, discuss, or disseminate TTP associated with SOT/CQB without the specific written permission of the Group Commander. b) SOT/CQB will not be discussed during planning conferences or exercise.pre-deployment site surveys. If queried 3rd SEG(A) representatives will explain MOUT as defined in FM 7-8 and the skills which can be taught No discussion of comparisons. .cr contrasts between MOUT and SOT/COB will be entered into c) SOT/CQB should not be a subject for unit training afforded training resources only after all other METL skills have reached a high level of proficiency. Battalion Commanders will specifically approve unit SOT/CQB training and then discuss it with the Group Commander prior to execution. d) ŠOT/CQB training, when allowed, will not be conducted with either participation or observation by individuals or units other than 3rd SFG(A). e) No mention of SOT/CQB training or proficiency will be made in unit After Action Reports (AARS). Recommendation referring to this type of training/proficiency will not be made (verbally or in writing).. 4. I cannot overemphasize the importance and sincerity with which I view this type of training. Unit commanders will ensure this policy is disseminated and understood by all principle staff members as well as every 18-series individual in the Group prior to 30 September 1992. Battalion Commanders and principle staff elements in the Group Headquarters will Reply by Indorsement (RBI). that this has been accomplished. DISTRIBUTION: A фи, LIKENSINGER JR.
