Advanced Tactical Training

Advanced Tactical Training was a specialised course of tactical and intelligence training for Starfleet officers. It was a highly challenging course (half those who took it failed to complete the course) and officers wishing to take it had to be recommended by a superior officer. Part of the course curriculum was designed by Elias Vaughn.

At the recommendation of Captain Jean-Luc Picard Ro Laren attended the course, and graduated top of her class in 2370. 

Following the completion of the course Ro was reassigned to the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) where Admiral Alynna Nechayev believed her training made her an ideal candidate for a mission to infiltrate the Maquis.
