The Theater Special Operations Command Staff Preparation Course–Virtual is an unclassified, foundational course that prepares newly assigned and supporting personnel to contribute effectively within a theater-level joint special operations headquarters.

The course establishes a shared baseline for participation in TSOC staff processes and for follow-on functional, role-specific, and advanced education. This Theater Special Operations Command Staff Preparation Course-Virtual (TSPC-V) is a 16-hour unclassified distance learning event taught online. Students will follow instructions in the TSPC-V Welcome Introduction upon enrollment. Method of Instruction: Online asynchronous distance learning (DL) course.
