Ground Defence Officer
1 week ago
An Air Force Ground Defence Officer plays a crucial role in safeguarding Air Force airfields, assets, and personnel from ground attacks. Your training will prepare you for both peacetime security duties and wartime operations. When deployed, you will serve as a key member of a Security Forces Squadron. Outside of active operations, you will focus on training Air Force personnel in essential military skills.
Physical fitness is essential for a Ground Defence Officer (GRDEF) to fulfill their responsibilities effectively. Regular travel opportunities await, providing unique experiences both in Australia and overseas.
Upon completing training, you will typically lead a Rifle Flight within a Security Forces Squadron. In this role, you will command a team of 30 specialists responsible for defending airfields and performing security tasks.
Transitioning from field command, a Ground Defence Officer may take on a role as a Base Ground Defence Officer. Responsibilities in this position may include:
- Planning and executing operations and training exercises in collaboration with unit executives
- Advising base commanders on ground defence strategies
- Training base personnel to protect Air Force assets following ground defence protocols and Base Defence Plans
- Continued training in areas such as small arms proficiency, field defence construction, guard duties, and combat survival
- Administering base fire services
- Leading land search and rescue teams
- Organizing weapons competitions
- Managing the base Armoury and small arms range
- Overseeing base security operations (on specific bases)
Alternatively, as an Instructor, you could be assigned to:
- The RAAF Security and Fire School at RAAF Base Amberley, QLD, responsible for training Airfield Defence Guards, Security Police, Military Working Dogs Handlers, and other personnel
- The Combat Survival Training School at RAAF Base Townsville, North QLD, providing personal survival training to ADF members and international personnel
- The Officers' Training School at RAAF Base East Sale, VIC, conducting core military skills training for officer trainees
- No. 1 Recruit Training Unit, RAAF Base Wagga, NSW, delivering specialist training in Ground Defence, Fire Training, Medical skills, and Physical Fitness for General Entry recruits
