The SOCP, as Thompson described, is developed to evolve at any point and time. When they receive feedback from the Green Berets on the battlefield on different techniques used, it is tested immediately by the schoolhouse.
"If you can show there is a better way of doing things, we will test it, vet it and we're going to do it," he said. "I don’t care whose system it came from, if its better, we're going to do it and have it absorbed into the system."
Haskins stated, "SOCP's loyalty is not to any one combatives discipline but to the Soldiers in uniform. SF Soldiers learn to fight in full kit and use their organic weapon systems in close-quarters hand-to-hand combat scenarios."
At the completion of the 40-hour course, 10th SFG (A) will have the most certified SOCP instructors in the SF community. Each Soldier will be able to instruct the basic course to members of their unit. Every two years, the instructor will have to be recertified as well as provide feedback to the schoolhouse at Fort Bragg.
Are they being taught how to use a combat knife?
