Deep dives

Introduction to the RUSTIC Course

The RUSTIC course was developed to address the emerging requirement and gap identified by the United States Special Operations Command, focusing on Robotics and Unmanned Systems Integration. General Bragg, during his tenure as the USASOC Commander, recognized the need for this capability. In 2021, he tasked Second Special Warfare Training Group to build the course and explore the feasibility of creating a Robotics Systems Military Occupational Specialty (MOS). The course is a six-week program aimed at training personnel to understand associated capabilities and effects in the robotics and unmanned systems space, preparing them to integrate these systems into various mission portfolios.
