This competency was developed for combat arms personnel required to operate a light support weapon on operations in a deployed operational environment but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.
The individual will be under supervision, usually as part of a team and will usually operate under direct Orders for Opening Fire and in accordance with the Rules of Engagement.
All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policies and procedures.
This unit covers the competency required to effectively conduct battle shooting on operations with a light support weapon, which may include the F89 Minimi, in the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
This unit of competency describes similar outcomes to DEFCM102B Operate a light support weapon, except it requires a higher level of marksmanship and proficiency, and is only assessed in an operational environment for example as an infantry soldier.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. In a Defence context, this means that there is no civilian need to hold this unit in order to meet licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements.
