All military operations and activities conducted overseas carry the risk that a member of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) may be captured, detained, interrogated and exploited by an adversary, threat group, foreign military or foreign government. Conduct After Capture (CAC) training, previously known as Resistance to Interrogation (RTI) training, is a Defence activity that prepares ADF personnel to understand the rigors of captivity and exploitation while surviving the capture situation with dignity.
Support services
There are services available to past participants of the Resistance to Interrogation and/or Conduct After Capture Training , including requesting of records pertaining to their participation.
