The upper limit of the tactical training involves direct control as squad leaders of a platoon sized unit or platoon leaders of a company sized unit. Maybe this training is more as a wargame setup using cardboard counters/ miniatures covering several scenarios and a "final exam" conducted in the field.
Sounds like the specialty of Mobile Assault, Rescue, and Strike (MARS). I would think that only MARS and to some degree Recon would have these skill sets. Where as, for all other specialties it would be safe weapons handling, hasty and planned defense, and convoy operations.
