Training

Esploratori training is some of the most rigorous in the entire Lumenic Legion and has one of the highest washout rates of any special forces selection course. All Esploratori initiates must complete a two week selection course that focuses on physical and psychological performance, as well as covering basic FAC and pathfinding skills. Selection courses are conducted at Cetta Royal Air Force Base.

Following selection, initiates undergo a 16 week initial training course, also conducted at Cetta Royal Air Force Base. Training focus on combat and civilian aircraft recognition and familiarization with performance and characteristics, aerial navigation and navigational aides, basic meteorology, communications, approach, and radar procedures. In addition, trainees receive their air traffic control certification during this phase of the course.

Following the conclusion of the initial training course, candidates must complete an abbreviated three-week airborne training course at Imperial Army's Airborne Warfare School at Fort Scalzo in Pasa. Candidates will become familiar with basic parachute and static line insertion techniques.

Following completion of airborne training, candidates will remain at Fort Scalzo to complete an a second three week Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape training course. This course focuses on techniques for survival in remote areas, evasion techniques while inside hostile territory and resistance to interrogation and torture if captured by the enemy. It is during this phase of the training that the majority of the drop outs occur.

The last course in the Esploratori training curriculum deals is 10 weeks and confers the final qualifications upon the candidates. Physical training is maintained, and candidates are drilled in small units tactics and land navigation techniques and devices from traditional maps to the use of the handheld Dachaidh satellite navigation systems.
