The Chief Petty Officer season (selection) is a six to eight week period of hands-on and scenario-based training that is required for a Naval First Class Petty Officer (CPO) to bear the title “Chief.” Throughout this period CPO selectees and Marines face a number of physical, mental, and moral challenges that strengthen their leadership. Components of the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group and 26th MEU(SOC) are deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations to help ensure maritime security and stability in the Middle East region.
