The Ranger Staff training program is for highly motivated cadets who want to become part of the Hawk Mountain Ranger School staff.  Students will experience on-the-job training as probationary staff while learning effective teaching techniques, safety considerations of staffing NCSAs, in-depth Ranger & ground team skills, and how to properly evaluate both basic leadership concepts.  Students will also learn how to effectively mentor and teach students.  The skills learned will be evaluated and tested during the 3-day mission with real world scenarios and perform realistic rescues on Hawk Mountain away from base camp. The students will be integrated into other squadrons as Staff Trainees.  Once the student completes and passes the program, they will become a probationary staff member of the Hawk Mountain Ranger School.
