WHAT IS OPERATOR TRAINING SUMMIT?

Show up with questions.
Leave with direction.

Operator Training Summit is a two-day, hands-on training and mentorship experience for civilians and military members preparing for Air Force Special Warfare. Work directly with current and former cadre, practice the fundamentals, and get feedback you can put to work long after the weekend ends.

Learn it. Practice it. Get coached.

On land, refine your approach to running, rucking, strength, and mobility. In the pool, build swim technique and water confidence with deliberate safety oversight. Ask questions, work through challenges, and learn why each skill matters.

Know what to work on next.

Our goal is to give your preparation a clear direction. Expect a better understanding of your strengths, the gaps in your training, and practical ways to improve. Leave with techniques you can use, priorities you can act on, and a clearer picture of the standards ahead.

Find people who share your goal.

Train alongside other motivated candidates and learn from cadre who care about your progress. Once you register, you’ll receive a text with a link to the event chat so you can connect with the team before you arrive.

From the people who showed up

  • A clear direction

    “The Operator Training Summit was truly invaluable. Going in, I had a vague idea of the level I needed to reach before joining the military, but I didn’t know how to get there until this weekend.”

    — Paul M.

  • Coaching you put into practice

    “It was the perfect mix of instruction and actually putting what we learned into action. The pool day was very smooth, and splitting us into groups based on how comfortable we were with certain things was really helpful.”

    — Jacob · San Diego

  • Confidence moving forward

    “Now I have full confidence going forward knowing I’m training the right way. I’ve modified my mobility and strength routines to better reflect the long term demands of not only the pipeline but the demands of the career.”

    — Anthony · Pennsylvania
