Scout Leader Course (SLC) trains Reconnaissance and Security (R&S) Leaders to develop advanced skills of R&S, a better understanding of the Commander’s information requirements, how to communicate battlefield information timely and accurately, and methods to employ supporting assets while maneuvering a scout platoon in a combined arms formation.
Students must pass the classroom Operations Order and their field evaluation assessments to graduate. Those that fail to do so will be dropped from the course.
All graduates of the Scout Leader Course that are recommended by the Armor Branch proponent will be awarded the "Personnel Only" SI/ASI R7 in coordination with the Branch Manager for that CMF.
