Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This competency was developed for combat arms personnel required to observe targets and to direct firepower to destroy/neutralise a single target in a deployed operational environment but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.
Typically, individuals work as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs.
All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policies and procedures.
This unit covers the competency required to observe targets remotely from the firepower locations and to direct firepower to destroy/neutralise a single target.
Firepower will normally be limited to the following assets:
small arms
indirect weapons
While this work will be undertaken as part of a team and under the commander's direction, the capacity to act independently may also be required should communications with the commander breakdown.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. In a Defence context, this means that there is no civilian need to hold this unit in order to meet licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements.
