FRTC

The FRTC is an ideal training environment due to its location, land area, and military airspace. Its unique characteristics include suitable weather for year-round training and designated airspace for supersonic training... The FRTC is also home to a tactical ground mobility course for naval special warfare personnel. As an intensive, four-week training course, Navy SEALs learn the capabilities and limitations of their vehicles, as well as basic maintenance and tactical driving skills. SEALs also take a joint close air support course to become certified as joint terminal attack controllers (JTACs). They will integrate with aviation units overseas in support of the joint warfare mission called close air support... At the FRTC, the Navy trains both naval air and ground forces in all phases of pre-deployment combat training, including basic, intermediate, and advanced training phases, and at the individual, unit, and integrated levels.
