| COLLEGE
OF SPECIAL OPERATIONS IN MOVIES
This college is a companion to the College of Special Operations (CSOT). It is designed to illustrate some of the concepts taught in the CSOT as depicted in movies produced during wartime and post-war eras. Dramatizations of SpecOps by Hollywood are fictionalized to draw an audience, so expect a good deal of creative liberties with the facts.
The exams written for this College emphasize the training, deployment, and cooperation of various Special Operations forces amoung the US and International branches of service.
Movies may have strong language, violent scenes, and ethnic slurs. Not suitable for students under the age of 17.
