Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
This competency was developed for combat arms personnel required to operate a service pistol in a deployed operational environment but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.
Typically, operators work independently and 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 operate a service pistol.
Operating a service pistol involves the ability to safely handle, safely maintain, safely operate and safely fire the service pistol.
The service pistol operator will operate independently or as part of a group usually in self defence.
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.
