This ten-day course enables students to conduct a total exploitation of a tactical objective to include physical and human exploitation. It is aimed at Special Operations and Conventional Military units that must take full advantage of all information presented on a tactical objective for the purpose of preserving evidence, gaining operational information for follow on missions, or reporting of tactical and strategic intelligence.

The SSE Course is taught by Intelligence and Special Operations background personnel with expertise in All-Source intelligence, HUMINT, Collection and Analysis, and Special Operations.
The course is practical exercise-intensive and includes role players. A final exercise combines tactical debriefing, i.e., human exploitation, on an objective during the conduct of an SSE. The overall objective is to enable students to:
• use appropriate tactical debriefing skills to quickly screen personnel for further exploitation
• to use appropriate SSE methods, techniques, and tools to quickly identify material on personnel on an objective deemed worthy of seizure and further exploitation. Tactical debriefing and sensitive site exploitation are skills that must be trained in tandem to achieve maximum results. This course develops these skills through repetitive drills and a realistic final exercise.
