Commander Conducting Brief

Use this page when you need the conduct flow and brief structure. Use it to remember the sequence, then replace every placeholder with the live details from the TC, training plan, ground setup, and safety appointment.

Read This First

Most people mess this up by reading everything on the page like a script.

Only read the blocks marked Read Aloud out loud. Everything else on this page is Commander Notes and should be checked before you start speaking.

Read Aloud: Safety Brief Template​

Use the exact prompts and thresholds from your current instructions. Do not invent or recycle outdated criteria just because they were used before.

Please sound off if any of the following applies to you:

- You do not meet the required rest condition for this conduct.
- You are flagged by the required temperature or health-screening criteria for today.
- You consumed medication, alcohol, or any restricted item within the restricted period stated in the current instructions.
- You have flu symptoms, diarrhoea, vomiting, dizziness, pain, breathing issues, or any other symptom relevant to safe participation.
- You have any current medical status, restriction, recent treatment, recent vaccination status if still applicable, asthma history, heat injury history, or other condition that must be declared under the current instructions.
- You do not feel well right now.

Commander Notes: Safety Handling​

  • If the conduct requires a more specific medical prompt list, read that list from the current plan instead of this page.
  • If someone sounds off, resolve the status before continuing.

Commander Notes: Medical Coverage And AED Checks​

Level 1 medical coverage:
- Buddy aid and commanders on site

Level 2 medical coverage:
- [insert medic / medical centre / first escalation point]

Level 3 medical coverage:
- [insert MO / higher medical escalation route]

Serious case evacuation:
- [insert evacuation route / hospital / emergency procedure from the current plan]

Closest AED Locations​

  • [insert nearest AED location]

  • [insert second nearest AED location]

  • [insert third nearest AED location]

  • Do not brief guessed AED locations. Confirm the actual nearest units before the conduct starts.

Commander Notes: No-Go Criteria And Live Safety Inputs​

No-go criteria examples to confirm against the current plan:
- Unserviceable or unsafe equipment
- Unsafe footwear or missing required equipment
- Participant in distress
- Unsafe surface, ground, weather, or environmental condition
- Missing safety appointment or unresolved medical coverage issue

Live Checks​

  • SafeGuardian app: check the live entry if your unit uses it.
  • WBGT / CAT / PSI: use live readings, not stale assumptions.
  • Indoor conduct: if the conduct uses a local meter or tripod reading, use that reading instead of a generic app shortcut.
  • Sector / shelter / code logic: brief the actual code and actual cut-off logic in force for the conduct, not the last version you remember.

Commander Notes: RAC And Post-Conduct Flow​

Pre-Conduct Checks​

  • Check attendance.
  • Check safety store and required safety equipment.
  • Gather participants and confirm the actual ground setup.
  • Confirm appointments, medical coverage, AED locations, and no-go criteria.

RAC Flow​

  • Split and conduct RAC if required by the plan.
  • Resolve outstanding issues before the conduct starts.
  • Give the final safety pointer brief immediately before commencement.

Post-Conduct​

  • End the conduct cleanly.
  • Check if everyone is feeling well before dismissal.
  • Give a short break if required.
  • Conduct cooldown and recovery checks.
  • Confirm accountability before release.

Refer to the TC, training plan, unit standing orders, and live safety conditions. Do not follow this page if the actual conduct requirements differ.
