Captain Joe Everett, I'm the course commander for the 26th Potential NCO course and the training officer for One Brigade Training Centre, Kongsbergs Cork.
This week we're in week 15 of 20 of the potential NCO course.
It's the junior leadership course that we have in the Defence Forces, those of private rank looking to become corporal.
Week 15 specifically is military operations in urban terrain down here in Fort Davis.
It is physically arduous, you can see the weather here today as well.
So they'll be here for the next three days, but we'll take them through different stages of how to clear a building, how to enter buildings, high level, low level, how to attack a building, assault a building.
i suppose up until now before they came on the course they were private soldiers in their units so they would have been i suppose followers so it's the very first time that we developed their leadership capability and their abilities so that they can draft up a plan themselves draft up a set of orders for the section and then execute a plan to i suppose achieve mission success no one gets through this course on their own initially teamwork is a massive thing taking ownership learning from your mistakes and showing a bit of initiative as well
If they deploy out to say the likes of Lebanon and stuff like that, like they are the section commander, they're the patrol commander on the ground.
They are going to be the front face that are operating out in say South Lebanon and stuff like that.
It's not going to be the captain, it's not going to be the lieutenant.
So there's massive responsibility on them.
Love the role.
This is my fourth involvement with an NCO course.
It's massive for me.
I love it.
There's a start, you know, you get an end product at the end of it.
