Application
This unit describes the skills required to plan and manage military explosive operations. Military explosive tasks are normally conducted on operations, they can however be conducted in peacekeeping, in support of the civilian community/authority and also in training. It involves developing and delivering orders and instructions, identifying the application of legislative requirements, coordinating multiple activities and providing debriefing, reports and appropriate documentation associated with the operations. This unit applies to those required to plan and manage military explosive operations. 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 and supervise small teams, using discretion and judgement and taking responsibility for the quality of their outputs. They would perform complex tasks in a range of contexts that could be unpredictable. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication. |
