Are there any Ensign billets with LEDETs? What sort of training would the personnel undergo? How far up in rank can an Officer go in these D.O.G. groups? Thanks!
Law Enforcement Detachments currently consist of eleven members and are usually commanded by a Lieutenant (junior grade). Personnel are trained to conduct vertical insertions, container climbing, and close quarters combat (CQC). Some personnel also receive special training as precision marksmen, emergency medical technicians, or linguists. In addition to providing law enforcement boarding teams, LEDETs also have specially trained aerial gunners which can deploy aboard ship-based Navy helicopters to provide airborne use of force against smugglers, similarly to the Coast Guard's Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron.
