PROVAS DE CLASSIFICAÇÃO E SELEÇÃO


01 - PROVAS DE APTIDÃO FÍSICA

(Execução obrigatória - Não são motivo de eliminação)

Transposição do Muro (60 cm de altura)
Extensões de braços no solo
Abdominais (1 minuto)
Corrida (12 minutos)

Queres mais fácil do que isto?

​

02 - PROVAS DE APTIDÃO PSICOLÓGICA

Testes Psicomotores
Testes de Personalidade
Testes de Inteligência
Testes Percetivo–Cognitivos

Estas sim, são as que realmente vão dar-te pontos na classificação final. Já vi um rapaz da minha zona que queria ir para os Rangers e tinha um físico do outro mundo. Pois bem, sabes onde é que ele foi parar? A uma GAC, já que nestes testes a média foi demasiado mediana e para o CTOE as médias de entrada são as mais altas.

​03 - PROVAS MÉDICAS DE SELEÇÃO

​Exames Sensoriais (acuidade auditiva e visual, sensibilidade cromática e campo visual)
Exames Médicos Auxiliares (eletrocardiograma, raio-X ao tórax, análises ao sangue à urina e toxicológicas)
Exame Médico Geral

São eliminatórias e ou passa-se ou não.

04 - ENTREVISTA DE ORIENTAÇÃO

​Visa avaliar as aptidões pessoais dos candidatos para o cargo ou função a desempenhar

O/A psicólogo/a que faz a entrevista sabe quantas vagas há para o quê e vai colocar o candidato onde achar melhor. Há muita rapaziada que quer ir para a minha tropa e acaba em coisas que nem te passa pela cabeça!

No meu tempo passavam um vídeo na inspeção militar e quem era suficientemente burro para dar-se como voluntário para as Tropas Especiais não tinha que se preocupar. Depois passado uns meses era chamado para a unidade em questão (no meu caso foi a Escola de Tropas Aerotransportadas, atual Regimento Paraquedista) e lá é que fazíamos os testes físicos. Eram grupos de 50 rapazes e no final das provas passavam cerca de metade.

The art of seeing through the tussock


New Zealand Defence Force

You have two hours to move within 200 metres of the observers and fire your first blank round. You start about one kilometre out, give or take. You cannot be seen at all. If you are seen, you fail.

Each year only 12 soldiers devote six weeks of their lives honing skills which they hope will match the exacting standards required to emerge out the other side as a badged sniper of New Zealand Army. Historically less than half make the grade. In 2020 just six passed.

Private (PTE) D and PTE M from 2nd/1st Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment were two of the soldiers to make the grade.

PTE D who was already posted to the sniper cell, said he had an idea of what the role of a sniper entailed, and wanted more advanced training.

“I wanted to challenge myself, be confident with navigation and to gain a better understanding of what snipers actually do,” he said.

PTE M said she wanted to do the course as she enjoys a challenge and is always after the pursuit of knowledge.

“The sniper is someone who by mastering their skills and a little bit of luck, can directly change things for good, or bad in the course of battle.

“If you want to measure yourself against some of the best, being a sniper isn’t a bad yardstick,” she said.

The course consists of six weeks’ worth of theory, shooting, judging distance, observing, reporting information and stalking an objective.

Sniper theory involves learning about sniper roles, employment, ballistic theory and working the kestrel (weather meters).

“At first all of this information seemed like a lot to take in, but the instructors made it easy to understand. If you want to do well on your summative theory test, you need to put in a lot of study in your own time,” said PTE D.

Following theory and shooting, the course consists of what are called ‘groundhog days’ where soldiers do the same thing over, and over, and over again, for days on end.

“You complete a judging distance and observation stand in the morning, then you stalk an objective in the afternoon. You do this consecutively for around 12–14 days, before you get tested on all three.

“At first, most of us were failing pretty much all of these tests. It’s ok to fail on these practice days, as long as you learn from your mistakes and don’t make the same mistakes again,” said PTE D.

This course was also the first time the new Barrett MRAD Sniper Rifle was used for testing. The MRAD provides two calibres to the sniper, a .308 calibre round and a larger long range .338 round. The .388 allows for accuracy out to 1500m on targets.

PTE M said once they got over not wanting to get it dirty (as they were basically brand new), they had some fun.

“It was easy to learn and use as well as extremely accurate. The recoil is very manageable and when paired with the Nightforce ATACR scope with TreMor3 reticle, you can spot your own shot impacts and quickly take up follow shots.

“Then, with the kestrel ballistic computer which is essentially weaponised mathematics, and with accurate spotting we were able to push them out to some impressive ranges,” she said.

PTE D said the MRAD has the capability to hit targets at long ranges and he “felt confident when it came to the badge shoot” using it. He said the toughest part of the course was the stalks.

“Moving into a firing position without being seen was extremely challenging. On my first few stalks I made some silly mistakes, like being spotted on my move in. My next issue was being spotted when I was at my firing position.

“Despite failing continuously on my stalks, I was happy with my progress.

I knew that I could now move in, unseen and fire my first round.

“I treated every groundhog day, including badged day, the same. Taking each day seriously, but not putting too much pressure on myself when it came to badge day,” he said.

PTE M said the hardest part for her was not only mastering the art of seeing through the tussock, but also failing. She also believes being the New Zealand Army’s first female sniper is not especially significant.

“Passing the course is an achievement for any soldier, regardless of gender. I am the first female given the opportunity to attend the course, or maybe I am the first that has wanted to.”

“No one likes to fail, that’s human nature. But on groundhog days almost everyone is confronted with failure on a daily basis.

“Once I came to terms with the fact that I might fail it took away a lot of pressure and opened the

doors for achievement,” she said. PTE D said he is very proud to be badged and what motivates him is the other soldiers in the 2/1 RNZIR sniper cell, “they hold a high standard that I aim for”.

PTE M is a one of a handful of females who are in the Infantry Corps and said that undoubtedly

women can, and do bring a myriad of skills and perspectives to the table.

“In the current operating environment having females in combat roles has proved to be crucial for intelligence gathering due to the fact that they can naturally navigate cultural differences when dealing with local populations overseas.”

She said despite this it seems most of the debate against women in the infantry tends to focus on physical strength, or gender equality “rather than if or how they could make our army more effective”.

Carrying the load is something that PTE M is passionate about and encourages those aspiring to do a job typically done by men to “meet or exceed the male fitness standards”.

“We use the same weapons, carry the same equipment and do the same job so there should be no difference when it comes to fitness standards. If you can do that, you’ll gain some respect.

“I believe that the right women should serve in the infantry, under gender-neutral combat-focused standards,” said PTE M.

PTE M said completing and passing the course gave her a basic standard and recognised future potential for her, and others.

“It’s the start of a lot of learning. The good thing about sniping is that you will never master it, there’s always some new way of doing something.

“I’m looking forward to improving what I already know and learning new things,” she said.

Se mulheres conseguem pilotar um caça, dirigir um tanque e até um navio, tão bem ou melhor do que homens, por que não?
Algumas funções de comando não se ligam necessariamente ao sexo da pessoa, mas a sua capacidade de adaptar-se e exercer com eficiência o trabalho.
Indiferente a querelas politicamente corretas constantes desse tema, é interessante que as mulheres possam ocupar espaços onde lhes couber o físico e a inteligência. No mais, na falta de homens para fazer o serviço, parece haver mulheres de sobra querendo o mesmo.
Nada contra mulheres de farda, mas bom senso também deveria ser algo a ser levado em conta na hora de dispor as funções e missões que elas possam assumir em pé de igualdade com os colegas masculinos.

First female officer to lead Division-level Command
By George Allison



Major General Sharon Nesmith has become the first female officer to command at the 2 Star level in the British Army, as she takes up the role of General Officer Commanding (GOC) the Army Recruiting and Initial Training Command (ARITC).
According to the British Army, Maj Gen Nesmith, who joined the Army in 1992, is taking leadership of the division-level organisation responsible for the recruitment and subsequent training of soldiers and officers throughout the Army.

She was quoted as saying:

“I am delighted to be taking command of the Army’s recruitment and training. I am proud to be leading the Command responsible for developing excellence in our soldiers and officers.”

As GOC of ARITC, Maj Gen Nesmith will be responsible for recruiting and training the right quantity, quality and composition of Regular and Reserve officers and soldiers to the British Army.

“To do this she will oversee a mixed military, civilian and contractor workforce of more than 6,000 people spread over approximately 130 locations in the UK and overseas. Each year she will manage a budget of over £200m and the training of over 35,000 students over 280 courses. As the second ever female Major General and the only currently serving Regular female Major General she has worked her way up through a number of appointments, from commanding 1st Mechanised Brigade HQ and Signal Squadron (215) deploying on Op Telic 10, through to commanding the 1st UK Signal Brigade.”

The Army also say that following promotion to Major General in March 2019, she was appointed Director Personnel (Army), where she oversaw the personnel strategy and policy required to support the workforce, including support to mental and physical health and wellbeing, enabling inclusive culture across the Army, and improving behaviours across the whole force.

First enlisted woman qualifies for formal combat controller training

A female airman will soon begin formal training to become an Air Force combat controller, the closest any enlisted woman has gotten to breaking that glass ceiling so far.

The unnamed woman recently finished the four-week assessment and selection course needed to progress to specialized instruction in combat control, Air Education and Training Command spokeswoman Marilyn Holliday said Monday.

She is one of four female officers and enlisted members vying to break into special warfare professions that remain dominated by men. The Air Force withholds their personal information to protect their privacy.

“Acting as a one-man attachment to other special forces teams, these highly specialized airmen are trained in a wide range of skills, including scuba, parachuting and snowmobiling, as well as being FAA-certified air traffic controllers in order to establish air control and provide combat support on missions all over the globe,” the Air Force says of combat controllers.

The woman will undergo another four-week class to prepare for combat dive school in Florida, which lasts five weeks, followed by parachuting training, free-fall and battlefield survival training, air traffic control classes, and two other combat control and special tactics courses that include advanced weapons and demolition skills.

A second female airman will start the assessment and selection course at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, in May, Holliday said.

The A&S course is the third step in the process to qualify as a combat controller, after 16 weeks of basic military training and the special warfare preparatory course at Lackland. The Air Force saw its first prospective female combat controller in 2019. At that time about a dozen women had attempted special warfare training. None succeeded.

Another enlisted woman who started down the path toward becoming a tactical air control party specialist has dropped out. She began an apprentice course last summer but left the program and switched to another Air Force career, Holliday said.

On the officer side, one woman is currently in training to become a special tactics officer. While the Air Force wouldn’t say where in the process she stands, the woman has made it farther than any other female officer pursuing that job. She will soon be joined by a second woman on track to enter the STO pipeline after graduation from the U.S. Air Force Academy, said 1st Lt. Alejandra Fontalvo, a spokeswoman for the 24th Special Operations Wing.

“Any airman or recruit aspiring to enter special warfare career fields, regardless of gender, will be accessed and qualified using the current validated standards,” Holliday added.

Air Force special warfare includes some of the service’s most elite and toughest career fields, including combat control, TACP, pararescue, special reconnaissance, special tactics officer, combat rescue officer, and air liaison officer. Those airmen must undergo intense training that prepares them to deploy to battlefields for ground operations alone or with a unit.

They work apart from the traditional air base support, logistics and aircraft sorties handled by the rest of the Air Force. In the case of combat controllers, they set up remote airfields while conducting air traffic control, calling in airstrikes, and more. Special tactics officers handle tasks like directing international coalition forces in assault zones, combat search and rescue, and battlefield trauma care.

The Defense Department opened all combat career fields to women in 2015, but the Air Force’s pipeline of female special warfare trainees remains a trickle. Some opt to leave the training program on their own terms, while others encounter other hurdles like injury or simply the physical requirements of the work. The professions can also be overly daunting or unfamiliar to women considering military careers, winnowing the pool of prospective trainees.

While women have been part of other facets of special operations for decades, the community is preparing to greet more female airmen as they earn the remaining “firsts.”

“I’ve been able to meet a couple of the women. … I am so excited and proud of what these women are going to come do,” Col. Allison Black, vice commander of the 24th Special Operations Wing — the Air Force’s only special tactics wing — said in a recent interview.

She looks forward to the day when women are no longer an outlier in special warfare.
