The Senior Leader Security Seminar is an anti-terrorism course designed for DAF General Officers, Senior Executive Service Civilians, Senior Field Grade Officers, and select Senior Enlisted Advisors who have been assigned to, or who frequently travel through, medium to critical threat areas. Deploying JTF, Wing/Group CCs and Command Chiefs may also attend. Other senior officers may attend based on individual circumstances. The seminar emphasizes recognition and avoidance of potentially hazardous situations and techniques to effectively respond if caught in such situations. The curriculum includes analysis of actual terrorist attacks to derive methods of predicting and preventing attacks, weapons familiarization (including live fire), instinctive driving training, which includes accident avoidance, high-speed driving skills, attack recognition, and evasive tactics.
