Issue Date: April 2024
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 safely handle, aim, fire, and maintain direct fire support weapon systems designed to destroy targets and provide battlefield effects. The weapon system is carried and operated by a team.
All members of the team must be thoroughly familiar with target identification, the characteristics and capabilities of the weapon system and be competent in the application of fire in an operational environment.
The team will usually operate under direct Orders for Opening Fire and in accordance with the Rules of Engagement.
