The Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School's Patrol Craft Officer-Riverine course is an eight-week course of instruction designed to provide personnel with the knowledge and skills to operate a riverine patrol craft in a patrol setting in accordance with approved doctrine. Course topics include human rights, patrol craft familiarization, river and littoral navigation, basic craft communications, patrolling/formation techniques, night vision devices, crew-served weapons, immediate actions (threat response), board and search, insertion and extraction of ground forces and mission planning.
An individual skills test in conjunction with a final training exercise is conducted at the end of the course to assess the student's proficiency in the course objectives. This course is designed for junior officers and enlisted personnel. In addition to the general prerequisites, students should be familiar with small craft operations and be in good physical condition.
