Combat Enhancement Training (CET): The keyword is individual training of the unit’s different internal procedures and capabilities. War fighting skills at the different warfare types, for the individual unit. Warfares, such as anti-submarine, anti-surface and anti-air are amongst the disciplines.

Force Integration Training (FIT): As well training the individual unit’s capabilities, training the joint capabilities among two or more vessels are essential. This is the purpose of FIT. The essentials in FIT are command, control and communication, which all need to be mastered in order to get the sufficient coordination.
