Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to organise logistics road transport operations in a deployed context in support of organisational operations. There are no specific licensing or certification requirements applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Prepare for transport operations
- 1.1 Operational requirement is analysed in order to establish the scope of transport support
- 1.2 Operational or organisational constraints are recognised and transport tasks are planned to align with these constraints
- 1.3 The considerations of planning vehicle movement and tasking are applied to derive the most efficient employment of transport assets and personnel
- 1.4 Logistic information systems are utilised to monitor and coordinate transport support operations and to inform the decision making process
- 1.5 Transport requests are received and analysed and a transport plan is developed
- 1.6 Occupational health and safety (OH&S) requirements and recognised safety precautions are applied throughout the operation in accordance with standard procedures
2Select transport route
- 2.1 Route is planned according to the route distance, geography, operational and technical considerations
- 2.2 Route reconnaissance is conducted to gather route information and to assist in transport planning
- 2.3 Transport route and plan are adjusted in accordance with changing circumstances and information
3Provide transport operations
- 3.1 The delivery of transport support is managed to meet the demands of the operation
- 3.2 Personnel are supervised and efficiently and effectively employed
- 3.3 Fatigue management strategies are applied to ensure vehicles are operated by rested and alert drivers
- 3.4 The preparation, movement and use of vehicles is monitored to ensure road transport is conducted with appropriate authority and effectively employed in accordance with organisational policy and procedures
- 3.5 The maintenance integrity of transport assets is monitored to ensure assets are available for support tasks
- 3.6 Liaison with agencies involved in the operation is carried out to ensure the most effective coordination of effort
- 3.7 Management and stakeholders are advised when significant issues or developments arise that may adversely impact on the operation
- 3.8 Records are maintained and entered into information systems
RANGE STATEMENT

The considerations when planning vehicle movement and tasking may include:
vehicle availability
vehicle types
route
route capacity
road network
support vehicles
method of operation
method of movement
time
tactical situation
terrain
climate
driver availability
use of vehicle capacity
loads to be carried, including compatibility issues in regard to dangerous goods and/or ammunitions
handling of loads
Route information may include:
harbour and staging areas
likely long halt locations and reporting points
other potential routes
obstacles
assembly areas, including laying up points and turnaround areas
driving time and condition between points
bridges, fords, waterways, tunnels and culverts
road width and capacity
likely effect of weather conditions en route
state of repair or construction en route
critical points

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required knowledge and skills, the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this Training Package.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include:
the management of at least two different road transport operations such as replenishment operations and passenger transport
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Competency should be demonstrated on at least one occasion covering the scope of the unit of competence
Resources for assessment include:
a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or
access to an appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace
In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:
relevant and appropriate materials and equipment, and
applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals
Method of assessment
Assessment of this unit must be undertaken by a registered training organisation
As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral tests
Practical assessment must occur:
through activities in an appropriately simulated environment, and/or
in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace
