This phase gives the students a healthy respect for the persistence of enemy patrols and patience of captors. Emergency medical treatment instruction is during this phase of training. Climbing, rappelling, and evacuation techniques comprise this phase. Two weeks of living on the coast and shooting rapids is a vacation for most people, but for the students it is an exercise in survival. First, a camp is set up on the Oregon coast.
Food is plentiful, and students usually feast on seaweed, raw oysters, crab, and other seafood.
Nights are spent in shelters built from materials on hand to withstand the wet climate and insects. The integrated phase brings the entire experience together as the students spend nine days in the wilderness teaching each other, surviving off the land, and completing a trek which prepares them for instructing aircrew members. Students spend five days in the sand, heat, and boredom of a desert survival situation for the last phase.
