Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School (NAVSCIATTS)

NAVSCIATTS trains and educates strategic allied and partner Security Force Professionals across the tactical, operational, and strategic spectrums through in-residence and Mobile Training Team Courses of Instruction. To date, almost 14,000 students from 125 Partner Nations have trained with this Naval Special Warfare command. NAVSCIATTS Courses of Instruction include operations, repairs, sustainment of craft (both riverine and littoral), communications, weapons, small unit tactics, UAS, intel fusion operations, as well as Partner Nation instructor development. While the name implies, "naval" and "small craft," many of the current courses apply to any security force. NAVSCIATTS has a proven methodology for Building Partner Capacity. We "Train the Trainers" using a combination of in-resident and mobile training team engagements. The mobile training team engagements are used as follow-on to in-resident training and utilize the NAVSCIATTS-trained Partner Nation trainers as the Instructor Cadre. This provides the ability for our Partner Nation trainers to establish credibility as Subject Matter Experts and allows NAVSCIATTS to critique and provide continued mentorship. One of, if not the primary benefit of training with NAVSCIATTS, is relationship-building. Many of our alumni remain in contact with the staff regarding professional matters, such as evolving technologies or ever-present training opportunities. Offering the ability to form professional and personal bonds that reach across oceans and continents, NAVSCIATTS has allowed for the establishment of networks that have aided in counterterrorism, counternarcotic, and counter human trafficking operations in a global environment.
