Section 2IC

The role of a Section 2IC or Second in Command, is keeping an eye on the well being of the men.

When in the field, the 2IC leads Assault Group Two, and is ready to take over for the Section IC should they be injured or killed. After engagements, it is the 2IC's job to perform an AmmoCas, taking note of how much ammunition was expended and how many casualties there were during the engagement. He will then relay that information to the platoon Warrant Officer, who will relay that to Combat Service & Support and the Medical Detachment so that the appropriate amount of replacement equipment and aid can be made available.

When not in the field, the 2IC makes sure that the men of his section are happy and to resolve any issues that they may be having to the best of his abilities.
