Tactical Coxswain & Military Small Craft Training

Between the requirement and the waterline

Qualification pathways from small-craft operator to tactical coxswain, built around measurable T&E gates and operational standards.

Capability

MTAG approaches training as a qualification standard, not a classroom event. Programs are structured around progressive operator skills, T&E gates, platform proficiency, and tactical coxswain development.

The instructor cadre is qualified across five USMC platforms, connecting technical platform knowledge with the operational demands placed on the crew.

Qualification Pathways

Structured progression from small-craft operator through tactical coxswain qualification.

T&E Gates

Measurable training and evaluation gates that establish proficiency before crews advance.

Platform Experience

Instruction grounded in direct small-craft and riverine experience and qualifications across five USMC platforms.
