This unit describes the skills required to facilitate the movement of personnel, vehicles, cargo and equipment through bridging. Equipment bridging is constructed from designed and certified bridge modules and parts to provide a temporary or permanent bridge over a gap.Bridges will normally be constructed on a temporary basis under field conditions to meet the operational need to provide a crossing point over a gap for personnel and equipment. When the crossing is no longer required the bridge is either recovered to storage or redeployed to another crossing.This unit applies to combat engineer personnel who are required to construct and recover gap crossing bridging equipment in a deployed operational environment.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 lead a team. They use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. They would perform routine tasks in a broad range of unpredictable contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
