SEAN WONG

As an Officer of 1st Commando Battalion, I get to lead and manage my own detachment of Commando troopers. I, alongside a handful of other Officers, are also responsible for planning and conducting all of the training exercises for the company. From power runs and endurance swims, to complex live-firing exercises, numerous considerations are taken into account during the planning phase to ensure the success of the conduct, and more importantly the safety of those in my charge.

Mission planning is always a time crunch. There is a need to efficiently manage time, effectively delegate tasks, and maintain a keen eye for detail. Out in the field, our missions are fast-paced, and both physically and mentally demanding. Being required to make critical decisions under time pressure, I must remain mentally-sharp at all times. The dynamic and unpredictable environment warrants an acute ability to be adaptable to sudden changes, all while leading a team.
