HALF GROUP TASK (HGT)

Unlike the PGT, here there is only one task and group is divided into two
halves. The rules of PGT are applicable here too. This test is conducted in order

to closely asses the candidates. One who couldn t perform in PGT have a
chance to do well since the group is reduced to half.

COMMAND TASK

Command task is one of the most interesting and important GTO Task. Unlike
other Group Task, it is not a leaderless exercise. In this test, you are the
commander and you have to accomplish the given task within allotted time.
Here, your ability to give command is tested by the GTO.

Depending upon the performance of the candidate, GTO selects a task for
every candidate .So if you have performed well in GTO tasks, the task allotted
to you in the Command task will be rather challenging. Some simple tasks are
allotted to the weak candidates.

Manner of Conduct: The GTO calls the candidates one by one and interacts
with them.
He will explain the task allotted to you along with the helping materials. He
then tells you to choose your Sub ordinates from your Group. Then you have to
finish the job within the allotted time. There may be a load to be carried along
with while you are negotiating the obstacles. Rules of rigidity, distance, infinity,
group and load are also applicable in command task.
