   j. Possess a driver's license valid through the entire tour of duty
   k. Able to pass Water Survival Training (Note 1)
   l. Prior to arrival at PDT, members should possess a basic and/or
   practical rifle qualification on the M16 or M4 rifle within the previous
   5 years. Previous qualification with a personal defense weapon (PDW) is
   also highly encouraged but not required. (Note 2)
Note 1: All members will be required to take part in 3 days of
intensive pool training as part of the Water Survival Training
Program (WSTP) at PDT. Students will be required to take and pass
the PT test in the first week of PDT in order to participate in
WSTP. Upon successful completion of the PT test, students will be
required to meet all tasks outlined in the WSTP Manual per Reference
D. Students should be comfortable in uniform treading water,
swimming, and jumping off an elevated platform. Members are
strongly encouraged to review WSTP requirements per Reference D
prior to attending PDT.
Note 2: Weapons qualifications are required for all shoreside and
afloat assignments. All E-7 and below assignments are designated as
anti-terrorism/force protection (AT/FP) watch standers.
4. Assignment Procedures: Members should complete reference E
requirements for overseas assignment, complete a PT test and minimum
weapons qualification requirements, and submit a command endorsed e-resume
for PATFORSWA positions by 26 October 2020. Those who are tour complete in
AY21, AY22, or AY23 can apply and should list PATFORSWA positions only. If not
selected, members tour complete in AY21 should follow published AY21
shopping list deadline guidance or rating specific guidance for submitting
updated e-resumes. Members tour complete in AY21 will be given priority
for these assignments.
5. Applicants should be aware that documented rated experience and
qualifications may take precedence over assignment priority when making
these assignments. PSC-EPM-2 will notify selected members or their
commands on a case-by-case basis.
6. Command endorsement criteria: All PATFORSWA endorsements should
address the following:
   a. Verify that member meets all assignment criteria in paragraph 3.
   b. List member small arms qualifications and most recent certification
   date. Again, verify that a passing basic and/or practical rifle
   qualification on the M16 or M4 rifle has occurred within the previous
   5 years along with passing of the physical fitness standards in the last
   6 months. (Note 1)
   c. Summarize previous law enforcement or AT/FP experience and
   qualifications.
   d. Backfill concerns: When addressing backfills for members not tour
   complete in AY21, commands should keep in mind that receiving an
   immediate backfill is not always possible. Backfill requests will factor
   into the candidate selection process. Additional guidelines for command
   endorsements can be found at our websites.
   e. Due to current Restriction of Movement criteria, applicants should
   understand they may be in country for 12 consecutive months. The member
   comments shall include the following statement of acknowledgment:
   "Member understands and acknowledges they may be in country for a
   continuous 12 month period pending COVID travel restrictions."
Note 1: For members whose weapons qualifications meet the minimum
criteria, but have lapsed, basic and practical qualification courses on
rifle (among other weapons) systems will be administered at PDT.
Training, Entitlements, FAQs: All personnel selected for this duty will
be required to complete PDT and applicable pipeline training. Details are
available on the EPM PATFORSWA and SMTC Portal Pages below. Members are
reminded that dependents can be relocated to a geographical area of choosing
for the duration of the tour and members that volunteer for 24 month tours
will be eligible for consecutive overseas tours benefits.
