Survival, Escape, Resistance, and Evasion (SERE)

Survival, Escape, Resistance, and Evasion (SERE) is a training program and set of skills designed to prepare individuals for scenarios where they might be captured or faced with life-threatening situations. It teaches how to survive in harsh environments, escape from captivity, resist interrogation or mistreatment, and evade enemies or detection. The goal is to increase resilience and ensure safety if ever detained or trapped, often used by military personnel, pilots, and others at risk of capture. SERE emphasizes practical techniques to maintain well-being and secure freedom in difficult circumstances.
