Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

DEFCA206B - Observe targets and coordinate multi asset firepower on multiple targets

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Occupy and prepare a location

  1. An appropriate vantage point is occupied and concealment is maintained throughout the operation.
  2. Occupied position is established.
  3. Reference points are established and information is documented.
  4. Possible threats are observed and monitored so an appropriate plan of action can be prepared.

Plan the engagement of firepower

  1. Advice is received on overall operational plan which will inform the planning process.
  2. A warning order for intent of operations is transmitted to the command post.
  3. Requests for resources outside own organisation are made to the command post when required.
  4. Target data is established and recorded.
  5. Rate of movement of own personnel is calculated from available data.
  6. Resources for effective fire on targets and rates of fire are calculated.
  7. Targets are prioritised.
  8. Schedule is developed and transmitted to the command post or direct liaison is conducted with other agency to organise engagement schedule.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessment must confirm the ability to maintain awareness of safety of friendly personnel at all times; to achieve the task using a number of simulations and at least one live fire plan using firepower from at least one outside agency; and to recognise but not exceed own level of authority.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time and across a range of simulated or actual workplace situations.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment. The individual must be assessed as part of a team.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to simulation, live fire areas, indirect fire support weapons, ammunition, and personnel to operate simulation and fire support weapons.
