The application of this unit in the workplace - the environments, complexities and situations involved - will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.
This text will be useful for the purposes of job descriptions, recruitment advice or job analysis; where possible, it will not be too job specific to allow other industries to import it into other Training Packages, where feasible.
This unit covers the competency required to operate armoured fighting vehicle (AFV) direct fire weapon systems to effectively produce fire.
Direct fire weapon systems are integral to and operated in conjunction with, the AFV. People who undertake this work will be part of an AFV crew.
Direct fire is primarily used during conventional operations to establish fire supremacy in order to destroy the enemy's will to operate. It can also be applied in accordance with the Rules of Engagement during operations other than conventional war such as security and peace support.
