Application

This unit describes the skills required to conduct a field survey to determine fixation and orientation. This survey is normally conducted by at least two people. One person will be the observer and one will record data. This unit of competency covers both roles.

This unit was developed for combat arms personnel required to conduct a field survey to determine fixation and orientation in a deployed 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 work as part of a two-man team under direct and/or indirect supervision. They would use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. They would perform routine tasks in a broad range of contexts that could be unpredictable.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
