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.

10th CST and Tacoma Fire Exercise

Joint Force Headquarters - Washington National Guard

The 10th Civil Support Team went to Port of Tacoma to do a training exercise with the Tacoma Fire Department. The training simulated a vehicle that was suspect to have a hazardous material in it. In the simulation the Tacoma Fire Department calls in the 10th CST to conduct a survey of the hazard. This exercise is one of many that the 10th CST conducts with our community partners. These partnerships are the foundation of how the 10th CST can support the local governments and their HAZMAT capabilities.
