AEROSPACE SCIENCE (AS-410): SURVIVAL: SURVIVE & RETURN
This course is not blended - the academic and leadership portions are intertwined
The Survival text is a synthesis of the basic survival information found in Air Force Regulation 64-4 Survival Training. The survival instruction will provide training in skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary to successfully perform fundamental tasks needed for survival. Survival also presents “good to know” information that would be useful in any situation. The information is just as useful to an individual lost hunting or stranded in a snowstorm.
