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 as a two man team during the conduct of sniper tasks in the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
Sniper operations require soldiers to operate in close proximity to the enemy in order to hit targets with rifle fire and gather information to inform their commanders.
The sniper must be thoroughly familiar with characteristics and capabilities of the weapon and competent in the application of fire in an operational environment
