This unit describes the skills required to assist in the preparation, construction, maintenance and recovery of dry gap crossing bridging equipment to cross any form of gap, including rivers and streams, to facilitate the movement of personnel, vehicles, cargo 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 for combat engineer personnel involved in the construction of dry gap crossings 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 usually be engaged in bridge construction as part of a team under supervision, but may undertake some autonomous tasks. 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.
