Naval Education and Training Command: Warrior Toughness

Every U.S. Navy Sailor, enlisted or officer, could face life-threatening situations from combat or casualty. Each and every one needs to have the ability to persevere and perform under both immediate danger and long-term stress, both on the job and at home.

Warrior Toughness (WT) is a holistic human performance skillset that enhances the toughness of our Sailors with a focus on the pursuit of peak performance. The system emphasizes coequal development of toughness in the mind, body, and soul. WT combines performance psychology skills with character development, and teaches the Warrior Mindset, whose concepts were initially developed by members of the Naval Special Warfare community.

Designed to increase the Navy’s warfighting capabilities, WT is an enabler of the Culture of Excellence as part of the first line of effort – Developing a Lethal Warfighting Force. In place at Recruit Training Command since October 2018, the curriculum is now incorporated across all Navy accessions at Officer Training Command Newport, the United States Naval Academy and the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps. WT will improve the performance of Sailors under stress and throughout their everyday lives, building lethal warfighters ready for the next mission.

Wherever the Air Force Aircraft are, there is also the Aerospace Ground Equipment, or AGE. The two are inseparable. AGE serves as much needed support to ensure that the air field is functioning properly. Army Sergeant Julie Jaeger has the story. Tag: One of the Aerospace Ground Equipment Technician's main provisions is the Dash 86 Diesel generator. This generator powers the jets so the mechanics can work on them when in the hangers. Soundbites include SSgt. Brandy Wool - Aerospace Ground Equipment Inspector. Produced by SGT Julie Jaeger.
