Issue Date: April 2024
As agreed in the creation of this Training Package, applications for units transferred from the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package will be developed as part of continuous improvement plans, and taking into account the change in Unit of Competency format as detailed in templates for Streamlined Training Packages.
This unit covers the competency required to support the conduct of sub-unit (60-130 persons) level defensive operations.
It is primarily focussed on the duties of the sub-unit's warrant officer who, in many cases will act as a member of the sub-unit operational planning and coordination team providing technical advice and direct support to the commander and second in command of the sub-unit. Many duties are also administrative in nature.
In the absence of the commander or second in command the person may be required to supervise the sub-unit requiring independent action and leadership by example.
Defensive operations are characterised by own forces delaying, accepting decisive engagement or withdrawing from action against hostile forces and are typically fluid and demanding environments.
