“Return with Honor”

The Code of Conduct

I I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give

my life in their defense.

II I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command,

I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.

III If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means

available. I will make every effort to escape and to aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special

favors from the enemy.

IV If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my

fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades.

If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back

them up in every way.

V When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number, and

date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written

statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause.

VI I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for

freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in

my God and in the United States of America.

“Level C training is for soldiers whose position, MOS, or assignment has a high risk of capture and whose position, rank, or seniority make them vulnerable to greater than average exploitation efforts by a captor in both wartime and peacetime environments. Wartime examples include personnel who operate forward of the FLOT such as Special Forces, pathfinders, selected aviators, flying crewmembers, and members of Ranger battalions. Peacetime examples include personnel who have a high risk of being taken hostage by terrorists or being detained by a hostile government in a peacetime environment. Examples include Special Forces, selected military attaches, members of Ranger battalions, and anyone in special support missions near conflict areas.”

Why Conduct SERE Training?

SERE Level C History

The first SERE Level C course was conducted at Camp Mackall, North Carolina, in 1986. LTC Nick Rowe, a Special Forces Officer and former POW during the Vietnam War, developed the first course. In 1998 it became mandatory that all Special Forces candidates attend SERE prior to assignment to an SF group. In 2014, AR 350-1 was updated to require all Officers who have branched Aviation to graduate SERE Level C prior to attending flight school.
