Greetings.

That term actually relates to what actually are two distinct and separate courses, as practiced in the US Army and in numerous foreign armies (in my earlier career, I was an advisor and trainer on similar courses to several militaries in the Middle East and Arabobophone Africa).

1. Dawrat al-mathaleen = (in "US military English") _Basic Airborne Course_

(Conducted in the US at Fort Benning, GA, this is a short-term course for basic qualification of a military person as a parachutist, for which special skill three ratings of qualification exist.)

2. Dawrat al-Sa'iqa = (in "US Military English") _Ranger Course_
(This is a different and an intensive [and high-stress] course to train and qualify small unit leaders, also conducted in the US Army at Fort Benning, GA)

FYI, the equivalent of the latter term ("ranger") in British/NATO/some AGCC countries would be "commando course" or "raiders course." [Arabic: دورة الصاعقة ]

Al-Sa'iqa is sometimes variously, and confusedly, rendered to refer to "special forces" [ القوات الخاصة ], but they (SF) are not the same type of military organization as ranger units.

Accordingly, if you are working from a US reference, suggest you break down that terma and translate it as two separate courses. An Arabic-language PDF version exists of the basic reference handbook on US Army Ranger operations if you need help with specific items.

Hope this helps.
