Eligibility and Training
As mentioned above, all UTC members get special training from the Pasukan Gerakan Khas unit to enable the unit UTC to engage missions effectively. Most of the training conducted are urban battle and CQB. Special Operations Forces training are conducted to the UTC to increase the strength and endurance of unit members, maximizing mentality strength and exposure to critical and tactical operations. Also among the training absorbed into this unit are:
- Operation planning
- Quick and effective raids of buildings, road vehicles, and trains
- Expertise use of firearms and explosives
- Sharpshooting and sniper
However, this unit does not just get training from PGK. The UTC men are regularly sent to take courses outside of the country to train with foreign units with similar roles.

Famous quotes containing the word training:
“I’m not suggesting that all men are beautiful, vulnerable boys, but we all started out that way. What happened to us? How did we become monsters of feminist nightmares? The answer, of course, is that we underwent a careful and deliberate process of gender training, sometimes brutal, always dehumanizing, cutting away large chunks of ourselves. Little girls went through something similarly crippling. If the gender training was successful, we each ended up being half a person.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
