Officer training

Regular Force officer training used to be divided into two phases: Armour Troop Leader 1.1 (ATL 1.1) and Armour Troop Leader 1.2 (ATL 1.2). In ATL 1.1, students were taught about commanding a crew of a single vehicle on the Leopard 2 MBT. ATL 1.2 trained students as armoured reconnaissance troop leaders, using the LAV 6 and Textron Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle.

ATL was unified into a single course in May 2022, running 14 weeks long (plus gunnery in the shape of 5 weeks for Regular force and 3 weeks for Reserve force officers)
