This essay examines whether the tactics training during the officers' program is in line with the current research situation based on protection against firepower, the effects of weapons and also masking, and whether it provides a sufficient training position for the cadets for future positions at the tactical level. The purpose of the study is to take an inventory of the cadets' training position in tactics and if there are any background variables that have a causal relationship with the explicit educational level, and what they would be. The survey is motivated by the officer’s professional requirements for contemporary and scientifically based training and the objectives for the officers’ program, which aim to give the cadet's a basic ability to work as an officer in stressful environments based on military expertise. The results of the survey come from statistical analysis with data collected through questionnaires that included collection of: background variables, statements about tactics courses and four tactical scenarios, where the respondent in the role of platoon leader, would prioritize tactical measures based on given enemy conditions and associated threats. The outcome shows that the cadets have a basic and sufficient educational level and understanding in tactics. However, all of them need further education regarding protection against firepower and the effects of weapons, as well as masking, as measures for these are not fully prioritized, but only in certain cases and then in a limited way. However, the tactical training has given the cadets a perceived feeling that the competence acquired is sufficient to be able to work as an officer in the future.
