Officers in Armed Forces n.e.c.

As an officer in the armed forces, you are a leader. You are responsible for your team and for operations that can range from training and peacekeeping to humanitarian work or combat. You lead soldiers, make decisions under pressure, and represent the armed forces in your work. It is demanding but rewarding - you get to work with capable people towards important goals.

Your work is diverse and changes depending on your role and where you are posted. You might be planning operations, training troops, managing equipment and supplies, or working with other countries' militaries on joint operations. You need to understand tactics and strategy, be physically and mentally tough, and be someone your team trusts and respects. It is challenging work that asks a lot of you, but many officers say that serving their country and looking after their team is the most meaningful thing they have done.
