Rappel Master Course

The five-day Rappel Master Course teaches the skills and techniques that are necessary to become a qualified rappel master. Focuses on responsibilities, safety SOPs and regulations, anchor systems, equipment familiarization, inspection and maintenance, hook-ups, knots, seat inspection, ground to tower refresher / rappelling, and aircraft rigging and control.


Reporting Instructions

As the Warrior Training Center's Rappel Master Course is primarily a MTT (Mobile Training Team) based, reporting instructions will vary from location to location. Because of this, standard reporting instructions will not be listed on this page. However, close to 30 days from the reporting date of the course, a welcome letter will be emailed to the email address on file in ATRRS.


For planning purposes in DTS- if students are not driving to the course, units are responsible for transportation to and from the airport. 1600 is the Check-In time on the Report Day Meals and lodging will be provided during the course starting the evening of report day through the morning of the final day. In-Processing will take place promptly at 0655 the morning of Day 1. Ultimately all the course specific instructions will be provided to the student roughly 30 days out from the report date.

Prospective candidates are enlisted NCOs and Officers who will be involved in the conduct of Rappelling Operations.


Course overview, packing list, reporting instructions, map to WTC, and WTC Form 100 are below.


*The WTC Form 100 is the Soldier's responsibility and must be filled out and signed by the prospective student's leadership PRIOR to in-processing in order to reduce waiting times at the in-processing table. Students without this form have 72 hours to present it or they will be removed from the course. *


**AF Personnel requesting to attend WTC Rappel Master must contact the AF LNO office. At no time will units or personnel go directly to WTC without prior coordination with AF LNO. **
