CAPACITY:15 students X 1 course per year.
This course is designed for company-level junior officers and senior enlisted personnel and provides international Special Operations Forces, conventional forces and law enforcement agencies with the knowledge and skills required for the tactical deployment of Special Operations detachments with operational-level mission planning.
This two-week course provides junior SOF and non-commissioned officers with instruction in SOF and conventional force roles and structure, small unit leadership theory and development, public speaking, troop leadership procedures, operational risk management, mission tasking, and mission planning.
Students attending the JNPL course must have basic computer skills with specific knowledge in Microsoft Office, be able to calculate basic mathematic equations, have 20/20 vision correctable, be physically fit, and be able to lift a minimum of 40 lbs. overhead. Since JNPL is the precursor to SOF Tactical Patrol Leader (SOFTPL), physical fitness and land navigation requirements for SOFTPL apply to all students who plan on enrolling at the conclusion of JNPL. The requirements for SOFTPL are a graded fitness test, as well as a written and practical land navigation assessment during the first week of instruction. Failure of either of these tests will result in student dismissal from the SOFTPL course and return to their home country.
