What must be completed to transition from the Basic Phase to the Advanced Phase?

To transition from the Basic Phase to the Advanced Phase, a successful certification exercise must be completed. This certification exercise is critical as it validates that the unit has achieved the necessary level of proficiency and readiness in the skills and competencies developed during the Basic Phase of training. It serves as a formal assessment that ensures the unit is capable of performing tasks effectively before moving on to more complex scenarios encountered during the Advanced Phase.

The focus is on demonstrating operational readiness, which is assessed during this certification exercise. Successfully completing this requirement indicates that personnel are not only familiar with basic procedures but are also prepared to engage in more sophisticated training environments that the Advanced Phase entails. This exercise often includes rigorous testing of tactical and operational abilities, making it a cornerstone of the transition process.
