Unikanie podczas szkolenia SERE - Rafał "Kowal" Kowalski

„Unikanie podczas szkolenia SERE” expands the range of literature on military-related subjects, offering valuable insights also relevant for civilians. Building upon the earlier work ‘Survival during SERE training’, the publication delves deeper into the next critical phase of the SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) process—focusing on Evasion. Readers are introduced to scenarios requiring them to remain undetected, move discreetly and efficiently, and minimize risk of exposure. Within a military context, such actions are governed by established procedures, whereas civilians generally lack access to these structured protocols, which are not as universally recognized as, for example, traffic regulations. Studying and reflecting on this guide enables readers to formulate individual strategies for emergency situations.

Proper survival and, above all, preservation of life fundamentally rely on practical preparation and specialized training—a necessity addressed through field exercises simulating potential real-world threats, tailored according to one’s role as a soldier or civilian.

KOWAL concisely outlines essential evasion skills in this volume, sharing personal expertise and knowledge for adaptation in civilian settings, so readers can recognize key elements of the subject demanding their focus.
