Canberra, ACT, Australia Australian Defence Force Full time
Army General Service Officers are allocated to specific roles shortly before graduation from the Royal Military College - Duntroon. The allocation of roles is based on performance during training.

The role of the Infantry is to seek out and close with the enemy, to kill or capture them, to seize and hold ground, repel attack, by day or by night, regardless of season weather or terrain. As this role implies, Infantry is the major combat element of the Army. This role demands high standards of mental and physical toughness, esprit de corps, battle craft and determination from soldiers, and doubly so from officers who are expected to lead from the front.

Graduates who are allotted to the Royal Australian Infantry (RAInf) Corps on graduation from Royal Military College (RMC) can expect to spend three or four years as a lieutenant with at least the first posting in an infantry battalion. During this posting, an officer can expect to be a rifle platoon commander and possibly a specialist platoon commander. Selected officers may spend their third year in one of the following appointments:

Command of a Battalion's specialist Platoon, such as heavy weapons, reconnaissance/ sniper, mortars, small craft or signals Platoon commander at the School of Infantry (Singleton) or the 1st Recruit Training Battalion (Kapooka) Liaison officer on a brigade headquarters
