Prisoner of war, interrogations & torture

What is really behind CAC training—and why does hardly anyone speak openly about it? In this episode of the NXTGEN podcast, Joe Görner offers a rare glimpse into a training program that deliberately stays out of the spotlight and demands far more than just physical fitness. Joe discusses the structure, content, and objectives of CAC, as well as the mental strain, constant evaluation, and the requirement to remain functional at all times under pressure.

It’s about isolation, about training behind closed doors—and about the question of what this experience does to the people who go through it. How does such training unfold when there is no stage and no audience? What is truly being tested—and why do many fail not physically, but mentally? And what lasting impact does a training program have when control, discipline, and personal responsibility are constantly demanded?
