Unit of Competency DEFMIL029 - Supervise combat operations
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills required to command, lead and manage a combat organisation or detachment of up to 30 personnel under extreme conditions in a high risk environment. Members of the organisation or detachment may be drawn from military personnel from the armoured, artillery, engineer or infantry corps or a group made up of personnel from more than one corps.This unit was developed for combat personnel required to deploy in an operational environment, but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.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 typically work independently or as part of a team, under indirect supervision. They use discretion and judgement, lead by example and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. They would perform complex tasks in a broad range of unpredictable and demanding contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or in a simulated environment, with access to equipment and infrastructure appropriate to the outcome. Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the candidate is assessed across a variety of situations.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
