Reporting Units

The S-3 Operations Staff Section is the Staff Section responsible for running the schools and training involved in running the battalion. The many schools and qualification courses along with Entry Level Training (ELT) are important for the running and future of the unit. The S-3 staff's training ensures that new recruits joining the unit are imparted with the correct standard on the field and off.

Mission

S-3 primarily runs BCT and RASP, the two main parts of ELT that feed new recruits into the unit. S-3 also runs and maintains the instructors for qualifications such as Combat Life Saver, Designated Marksman, Land Navigation, Airborne, and Air Assault. Specific schools ran by the S-3 Operations staff duties include Sniper School, Pathfinder School, and Sapper School. S-3 trainers and instructors are expected to understand their subjects completely with a level of fluency that allows them to teach and bring up others to act as instructors.
