The PLQ requirement for all land forces is to lead a Section Attack, a Reconaissance Patrol, and either an occupation of the defence, or routine in the defence. None of which, to my knowledge is taught in MLOC (or ELOC, or QLOC or whatever it‘s being called now).
As for warrior training, I count myself incredibly fortunate to be with an infantry unit otherwise I would have been up $hit creek without a paddle on the PLQ. Most people I spoke to that were in non combat arms units were "supposed" to do a full warrior program every year, but never did. For one person I spoke to (no names, no pack drill), their unit‘s MLOC consisted of TOETs on the C7 followed by a shoot of the C7 on the SAT range. Next was basic familiarization with the C9 and C6, no shooting, no dry firing, no strip and assemble, just unload.... that‘s IT. A little bit of a refresher on basic voice procedure, a bit of first aid review, and a field ex. THAT IS ALL!!!
Granted, this was a WOG unit, but I think those kind of discrepancies in training are inexcusable. Soldier first, right? Now imagine this person having to lead a section attack, having not even a basic knowledge of section battle drills, fire and movement, or having ever participated in a section attack, let alone led one. This person will be competing against infantrymen with hundreds of times the experience. And, for the vast majority, the PLQ is an infantry skills course. THERE is my biggest problem with the PLQ, in a nutshell.
