TRAINING

​

"Train like you fight" is more than just a slogan for Anchor personnel – we are dedicated to ensuring Navy Security Forces are capable of protecting critical assets 24/7 against a changing and asymmetric threat.

In addition to Anchor Risk Group's unique training capabilities, Anchor is able to deliver world class training and exercise support to meet you needs.

U.S. Navy Harbor Security Boats (HSB) are the first line of defense against waterborne attacks directed at our operational assets vital to national security. In the rush to bolster harbor security after the USS COLE incident, and expedited by "9/11" terrorist attacks, Anchor was on the leading edge supporting Navy Region Southwest's development of a comprehensive HSB Training Program. This effort became the genesis for the current Shore Installation Management Basic Boat Coxswain (SIMBBC) Course, which has become the Navy standard for HSB and Oil Spill Response (OSR) Level 1 coxswain training. Additionally, Anchor provides SIMBBC instruction and Class II swimmer certification and training for all East Coast installations and OCONUS bases in Rota, Spain, Guantanamo, Cuba, Souda Bay, Crete, and Manama, Bahrain. Anchor is proud of the impact we have had on the U.S. Navy's HSB training program. Other Anchor training efforts include:

​

  • Navy Seamanship & Ship-handling Training (NSST) for US Navy bridge watch teams and Prospective Executive and Commanding Officers

  • Navy Maritime Expeditionary Security Group MK VI operations

  • NASA Orion Human Space Flight Program US Navy Amphibious Strike Group capsule recovery and astronaut rescue

  • Deck Operations & Engineering Support and Training - Improved Navy Lighterage Systems (INLS), Weapons Training, and Command & Control Systems

  • Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) certification course throughout Navy Region Southeast
