NOT one of the four selection phases for SRT?

• A. Physical fitness phase.
• B. Administrative phase
• C. Instructional phase
• D. Stress phase

Answer: (A)

Selection of SRT candidates is structured as a progression that assesses eligibility, how well a candidate can learn and apply required skills, and how they perform under pressure. The administrative portion handles eligibility, paperwork, and prerequisites; the instructional portion focuses on teaching the necessary tactics and evaluating the student’s ability to apply them; the stress portion intentionally subjects candidates to high-pressure scenarios to observe decision-making, teamwork, and composure.

Physical fitness is essential for performance, but it isn’t counted as its own selection phase in this framework. Instead, fitness is treated as a baseline requirement or is evaluated within the broader screening tasks rather than as a separate phase. That’s why the physical fitness phase is the correct choice for NOT being one of the four selection phases.
