This competency was developed for Defence personnel required to perform the duties of OIC for the conduct of range practices within a Defence working environment.
Typically, OIC work independently under indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. All activities are carried out safely in accordance with relevant organisational policies and procedures.
This unit covers the competency required to conduct weapons range practice to support the maintenance of operational readiness in the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
Range practice may include the following types of ranges:
Standard 25 metre range
25 metre and 100 metre open ranges
Classification range
Static mechanical range
MTR
Field firing ranges including small arms, high explosive, anti armour and indirect fire weapons

This competency encompasses the safe and efficient planning and conducting of range practices as the OfficerinCharge (OIC). Conducting, in this instance, also includes effective supervision of safety, and the preparation and finalisation of range practice using weapons and ammunition for which the OIC is qualified to operate.
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.
