F-15E fighter jet shot down: How U.S. military is trained to survive
National security analyst Hal Kempfer joins LiveNOW’s Austin Westfall to discuss the latest news on the Iran war.
SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) is the specific training program the military uses to teach troops how to deal with harsh conditions, avoid enemies and resist being captured by hostile forces.
SERE training is primarily for personnel who are at “high risk of capture” by opposing forces. These would include aviation personnel, snipers, Special Forces, and intelligence gatherers. The program offers the skills needed to evade or, if captured, escape until they can be recovered by American search and rescue teams.
An F-15E fighter jet was the first American warplane shot down by Iran since the start of the war. A crew member remains missing, and a search and rescue mission is taking place. The pilot was rescued, according to U.S. officials.
