Issue Date: March 2024
This unit describes the skills required to observe targets remotely from the firepower locations and to direct firepower to destroy/neutralise a single target. Firepower will normally be limited to the following assets:
small arms
indirect weapons
This unit applies to those working as combat arms personnel required to observe targets and to direct firepower to destroy/neutralise a single target in a deployed operational environment.
The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.
Those undertaking this unit would work as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision. While this work will be undertaken as part of a team and under the commander’s direction, the capacity to act independently may also be required should communications with the commander breakdown. They would use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs while performing specific tasks in a broad range of unpredictable contexts.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
