Unit of Competency DEFTRP001 - Operate a vehicle in an environment of threat
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills required to operate a vehicle in a work environment where there are a range of threats to the security of the vehicle and driver. These threats may include actions by an adversarial or enemy force targeted at destroying the vehicle and driver. The focus of the threat may be towards disablement of the driver, vehicle and/or load and may be carried out using a range of weapons from the ground and/or the air.This unit was developed for military drivers in a threat environment but is applicable to any individuals who work in this field.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 independently or as part of a team, under direct and indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their output. They would perform routine tasks in a broad range of unpredictable 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 carrying both general cargo and personnel. While assessment will normally be conducted as a team activity involving a number of vehicles and drivers, evidence of individual performance should be gathered on operational driving, the tactical deployment of vehicles, the use of camouflage to prevent observation and detection, and the employment of contingency actions including counter-ambush and counter-air attack. Most assessment tasks require the cooperation and assistance of other team members, therefore the ability to work as part of a team should be included in the overall assessment.

Assessment should be sequential from the actions of the individual on the receipt of instructions for movement through to the employment of contingency actions. Given that most of this unit of competency is based on the application of drills and procedures the assessment will be conducted primarily through the observation of practical skills. Errors detected in performance can be used to prompt a more detailed examination of a particular knowledge or skill and verbal and/or a written questioning of underpinning knowledge may complement practical assessments.

Competency should be demonstrated as part of a broader assessment activity involving the tactical deployment of drivers and vehicles over an extended period. Performance will need to demonstrate reacting to a range of threats and carrying out contingency actions on a number of occasions.

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

ELEMENTS

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section.

1. Camouflage and conceal a vehicle

1.1 Obtain specialist equipment appropriate to the task and check for serviceability.

1.2 Prepare vehicle for tactical employment and operational driving in a threat environment.

1.3 Camouflage vehicle from observation, surveillance and detection.

1.4 Conceal vehicle and its signature from observation, surveillance and detection using natural and artificial resources.

2. Apply tactical deployment drills and contingency actions when driving in a threat environment

2.1 Drive vehicle singularly and in convoy in a threat environment.

2.2 Deploy vehicle tactically during halts.

2.3 Employ vehicle contingency actions when threatened.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the candidate must demonstrate evidence of performance of the following on at least one occasion.

preparing a vehicle for operational driving

driving a vehicle under operational conditions

following instructions/directives and verbally reporting information

selecting halt and hide positions that make best use of the natural terrain and vegetation, and provide maximum concealment

occupying halt and hide positions, optimising the position of the vehicle and the timely application and erection of camouflage

applying procedures for camouflaging a vehicle, including use of natural vegetation and artificial aids including camouflage nets and support sets that allow emergency redeployment of the vehicle without entanglement

reducing vulnerability through preparation of the vehicle, the use of camouflage and concealment, and the application of contingency actions that minimise risk

carrying out contingency actions to prevent or minimise damage to the person, the vehicle and the load, both when travelling alone and in convoy with other vehicles when in a threat environment

applying counter surveillance doctrine and procedures and the employment of operational driving techniques, in driving both a light and medium vehicle, carrying both general cargo and personnel, in a simulated operational environment

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the depth of knowledge demonstrated must be appropriate to the job context of the candidate.

tactical deployment procedures including convoy driving procedures and actions at a halt and occupation of a hide or administrative position

threats to vehicle security, observation and detection

contingency actions
