Construct equipment bridging
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024
This competency was developed for combat engineer personnel required to construct, and recover gap crossing bridging equipment, to facilitate the movement of personnel, vehicles, cargo and equipment in a deployed operational environment but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.
The person will usually be engaged in bridge construction by leading a team and working autonomously.
All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policies and procedures.
This unit covers the competency required to construct, and recover gap crossing bridging equipment, to facilitate the movement of personnel, vehicles, cargo and equipment.
Bridges will normally be constructed on a temporary basis under field conditions to meet the operational need to provide a crossing point over a gap for personnel and equipment. When the crossing is no longer required the bridge is either recovered to storage or redeployed to another crossing.
Equipment bridging is constructed from designed and certified bridge modules and parts to provide a temporary or permanent bridge over a gap.
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.
