Supervise a section during offensive operations
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This competency was developed for combat arms personnel required to command, lead and manage groups of up to 12 personnel during offensive operations in a deployed operational environment but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.
Typically, individuals work as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision, but also must be prepared to act independently, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policies and procedures.
This unit covers the competency required to command, lead and manage groups of up to 12 personnel during offensive operations.
Offensive operations are characterised by extreme environmental conditions with high levels of risk of serious injury or death from hostile action. Supervision during offensive operations requires supervisors to be incisive in a fluid and demanding environment, to act independently, and to lead by example.
Command is the authority a commander in the military service lawfully exercises over subordinates by virtue of rank or assignment.
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.
