Hey whats up everyone. So I am in the process of building my packet for Civil Affairs Assessment and Selection Course. What kinds of things can I expect at the selection course? If anyone out there has been through the course, what can be expected and what can I do to better prepare myself for the course?

1) Show up prepared to pass a standard APFT
2) Be honest with yourself - don't be someone you're not.
3) I would show up being able to run 5 miles in under 40 minutes & be able to ruck 12+ miles at a 15 min/mile pace or faster.
4) Public speaking is a must - if you're not good at it, practice
5) Be able to write concise and convey your points clearly.
6) Enjoy CAAS - it's not that bad.

More research less posting SGT. I understand your question.
Answer:
To continue selecting the best soldiers for further training into the pipeline, and to keep the integrity of course strong, information about the CAAS will not be given out.
Good luck
P.S- Run a lot, make sure you drink your ORS when they give them to you, and eat THE ENTIRE MRE. But most of all, do not asses yourself out of the course, do not quit, and when you find yourself scratching your head, pick it up and realize that everyone else is too.

I am a Civil Affairs Company Commander in the reserves and I can tell you that in CA you need to have the ability to talk to people. It is all about being able to establish relationships with people.
The couse will be physically and mentally demanding, of course, but you have to be able to think on your feet and adapt.
Good luck with your training and if you ever leave active duty and come to the reserves we are always looking for good troops.

SPC (Join to see) - you need to branch transfer into ca and complete the course. Once you have the branch then you put in for agr... i think that is how it works anyways. You can always call ca branch at Hrc and they can tell you the real answer.
