Special Operations: Physically Optimised for Selection – PTIs Kampo & Ben

Serving in Special Operations Command (SOCOMD) is an aspiration for many and attainable for some. It is a popular choice for ADF members seeking to take their career to the next level and civilians wanting more out of life than a trade or corporate job can offer.  Recruiting is underway to identify the next generation of Special Forces Operators, Engineers, Signallers, Medics and Enablers. Depending on the role, some candidates participate in the Special Forces Selection Course (SFSC) – one of the longest and most gruelling selection courses in the world. We’ve partnered with the ADF School of Special Operations to produce a series of episodes to give you insights straight from the source. If you’re interested in joining SOCOMD’s units - 1st Commando Regiment, Special Air Service Regiment, 2nd Commando Regiment, Special Operations Engineer Regiment or Special Operations Logistics Squadron then this is the series for you. This episode features two Physical Training Instructors (PTIs) from Human Performance Wing – Kampo & Ben. They are involved in multiple phases of Special Forces recruitment, including pre-Selection physical training, Selection itself and the post-Selection Reinforcement Training Cycle. Drawing on their experience over the years, we discuss becoming physically optimised and ready for Selection and the 30-week physical training program. Kampo & Ben also provide some helpful tips to assist with your own training and preparation. SOCOMD is looking for high calibre individuals who ready to play a part in cutting-edge warfare now, and into the future. Could it be you?
