Observe targets and engage with joint asset firepower from any agency
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This competency was developed for combat arms personnel required to observe targets and to direct joint asset firepower from any agency to destroy/neutralise multiple targets 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, but also must be prepared to act independently, 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 provide advice so that single or multiagency firepower can be employed to engage target/s. Agencies may include armour, artillery, coalition forces, close air support, helicopters, mortars, naval gun support, and tactical unmanned aerial vehicle.
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.
