Field Leader and Intelligence Officer supervision requirements
Mission Support (Intelligence Officer) Combat Area
- New Intelligence Officers must complete 2 supervised deployments at LGM <15 level.
- Additional supervised deployments may be required where the individual requires further guidance, development, or evidence of competence.
- New Intelligence Officers must complete 1 supervised deployment at LGM <32 level.
- Additional supervised deployments may be required where the individual requires further guidance, development, or evidence of competence.
- Successful completion of the LGM <32 supervision requirement satisfies the supervisory competency requirement for the Information Officer Combat Area.
Field Leader Combat Area
- New Field Leaders must complete 2 supervised deployments at Squad Commander <15 level.
- Additional supervised deployments may be required where the individual requires further guidance, development, or evidence of competence.
- New Field Leaders must complete 1 supervised deployment at Platoon Commander <32 level.
- Additional supervised deployments may be required where the individual requires further guidance, development, or evidence of competence.
- Successful completion of the Platoon Commander <32 supervision requirement satisfies the supervisory competency requirement for the Field Leader Combat Area.
Notes:
- Competence must be demonstrated and assessed separately for each Combat Area. Completion of supervision requirements in one Combat Area does not satisfy the supervision requirements of another.
- As per policy, the minimum ORBAT size for a Platoon is 20 personnel (MST excluded). This will also be the minimum ORBAT size for supervised deployments at LGM <32 and Platoon Commander <32 level.
- Where a supervised deployment is conducted below the minimum ORBAT size due to vacancy rates or operational requirements, it will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
