THE AIM OF RECRUIT TRAINING
The aim of recruit training is to qualify the maximum number of entrants to the Australian Army to the required standards in core military knowledge and skills, and to develop, in them, soldierly qualities. The aim can be divided into three parts:
- To enable recruits to achieve the competencies required to commence Initial Employment Training (IET).
- To encourage soldierly qualities including: a will to win, dedication to duty, honour, compassion and honesty, mateship and teamwork, loyalty, and physical and morale courage.
- To motivate recruits towards developing a military career.
