This FOI release comprises internal Defence documents relating to Combat Survive, Evade, Resist, Escape (SERE) training conducted by the Combat SERE Training School (CSTS) at RAAF Townsville. Material includes course administration instructions covering trainee conduct, accommodation, field allowances, alcohol and mobile phone restrictions, and security obligations; a 2025 course scheduling and scheme of manoeuvre across Combat SERE Levels B and C; an instructor management framework (SI (OPS) 02-01); and extracts on medical support, casualty evacuation, inclement weather procedures and risk management. Redactions are visible in several places, mainly under s47E(d) for phone numbers and s22 for schedule details, and the Figure 1 course schedule content is largely withheld. The text shows no cost figures beyond a note that field allowances may take up to six weeks to finalise, and does not link to any public controversy.
