Military Sealift Command provides new security training courses to STAR Center

STAR Center has added additional dates for the following three Military Sealift Command (MSC) courses:

• Two-Day Security Watchstander Basic - this course is required once in a career and those who have taken the "Ship Security & Tactics (SST)" course are grandfathered and do not require the Watchstander Basic Course.
• One-Day Security Watchstander Advanced - this course is required annually for all Ship Reaction Force members.
• Three-Day Ship Security Reaction Force (SRF) Team Member - this course is required every three years for SRF members. It replaces the SST course. Note: all students must successfully complete the Practical Weapons Course (PWC) on day one of this course in order to continue.

Additional dates are as scheduled as follows:

• Security Watchstander Basic: Dec. 1
• Security Watchstander Advanced: Dec. 5
• Ship Reaction Force: Dec. 6
