The Army Cadet Force (ACF) is a British youth organisation that offers progressive training in a multitude of the subjects from military training to adventurous training and first aid, at the same time as promoting achievement, discipline, and good citizenship, to boys and girls aged 12 to 18 years and 9 months. Its affiliated organisation, the Combined Cadet Force provides similar training within various schools. It has connections to the training of the British Army.

Although sponsored by the Ministry of Defence and being very similar in structure and activity, the ACF is not a branch of the British Armed Forces, and as such cadets are not subject to military 'call up'. A proportion of cadets do, however, go on to enlist in the armed forces in later life, and many of the organisation's leaders - formally termed 'Cadet Force Adult Volunteers', or informally 'Adult Instructors' - come from a previous cadet service or military background.

The ACF can trace its beginnings back to 1859, when it was formed in order to prepare youths to enlist in the army in anticipation of an invasion by the French. It remained in existence after no invasion materialised, thanks in part to the influence of pioneer social worker Miss Octavia Hill, because of its positive benefits on youths. The ACF is a registered charity.

Octavia Hill (Wisbech, 1838 - 1912) was an English social reformer, particularly concerned with the welfare of the inhabitants of cities, specifically London, in the second half of the 19th century. ...

Training

A young person can join the ACF at age 12, providing they are attending school in year 8. Training begins with a short Induction Interview with the Detachment Commander, followed by a tour and introduction by a Senior Cadet. The new recruit is assimilated into the training immediately, but it can take between 1 to 3 months to be issued a uniform and be fully inducted into the unit.

Throughout their time through ACF, they move through the APC star system - a system that allows the cadets to learn the following activities listed below. After they have taken the skill to a certain level, they take a test. When they have completed that star levels requirements, they move up. Each star level allows cadets to be promoted through the ranks, but only NCO ranks. NCO may mean: a numerically-controlled oscillator in electronics a non-commissioned officer in the military   This is a disambiguation page — a navigational aid which lists other pages that might otherwise share the same title. ...

Then cadets are taken through the basic and one-star syllabus of the Army Proficiency Certificate, including Drill, Shooting, Fieldcraft, Map and Compass, Military Knowledge, Expedition, First Aid, Skill at Arms, and Cadet in the Community.

The same subjects are assessed in more depth at two-star level, and mastered at three-star level. At three-star level, cadets can attend a Junior Cadet Instructors' Cadre (JCIC). This weekend assessment course allows cadets to teach one-star and below subjects.

At four-star level, the cadet attends a Senior Cadet Instructors' Cadre (SCIC). This week-long course qualifies cadets to teach two-star subjects. To complete the four-star syllabus, the cadet must also choose one subject in which to specialise and improve further. This might be Skill at Arms, First Aid, or Signalling, for example.

Apart from the star-level assessments, cadets can achieve more experience by attending other, optional training weekends such as radio user and crossed flags courses, going on adventure training trips to work towards the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, or trying cadet leadership courses and NCO cadres.

There are also lots of sports and events to get involved in. Cadets can compete against other counties in athletics, cross country, football, first aid, swimming, tug of war, rugby, hockey, military skills, target shooting and many more. The ACF also competes on a national level. A womens 400m hurdles race on a typical outdoor red rubber track. ...

Field craft

In field craft lessons, cadets learn infantry skills such as patrolling, section battle drills, ambush drills, harbour drills, and how to survive in the field. Field exercises take place about once every few months, and at annual camp. Field craft is a term used especially in British military circles to describe the basic military skills required to operate stealthily at day or night regardless of weather or terrain. ...

Out on exercise, cadets wear DPM (disruptive pattern material) clothing, dulled boots, camouflage cream to eliminate the face's natural shine, a bush hat and foliage to break up the shape of the head and shoulders, webbing to carry rifle magazines, water bottles and emergency rations, commonly one of either the 58 pattern webbing or the newer PLCE system and a bergen to carry a sleeping bag and basha (improvised shelter) building materials. Cadets are issued with 24-hour ration packs and hexamine cookers as used by the infantry. 58 pattern webbing was a Personal Load Carrying Equipment (PLCE) system issued to the British Army from the 1950s up until the mid 80s. ...

Skill at Arms

New recruits are taught how to safely handle, clean, operate and fire the Number 8 Rifle and the L98A1 Cadet General Purpose 5.56 mm Rifle (GP). The GP is a single shot adaptation of the British Army's SA80 however it can be modified for multiple round shooting without cocking the weapon each time. This is achieved with a 'heckler and koch' conversion kit Individual Weapon, designed specifically for the cadet forces (Though senior cadets on some occasions do use the SA80, however, some ACF detachments are being issued with SA80 A1s which will replace the L98). Having mastered the GP and passed the one-star Skill at Arms test, cadets can fire them (using blank rounds) in field exercises as part of a section, taking part in ambushes and assaults on enemy forces. They can also fire live rounds on a range, usually at annual camps, gaining marksman badges if they have enough skill. To pass one-star skill at arms, cadets must show they can handle the weapon safely, perform stoppage drills, and field strip the weapon for daily cleaning. The L98A1 Cadet GP Rifle (GP - General Purpose) is the standard rifle for British Army, Air and Sea cadet shooting. ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ... SA80 (Small Arms for the 1980s) is a family of related arms that include the British Armed Forcess standard combat rifle. ... A US Marine marksman. ...

Senior cadets with a three-star Skill at Arms, are introduced to the LSW Light Support Weapon which, unlike the GP, has automatic capabilities. With its longer barrel and bipod, the LSW has a greater range and muzzle velocity, and with its SUSAT (Sight Unit Small Arms Trilux - the optical sight on top of the weapon), it also allows for greater accuracy. The LSW is also used by the infantry, and having mastered this more difficult weapon, cadets can mimic the tasks performed by regular army LSW gunners, using its higher rate of fire to provide fire support during section attacks. However, the LSW is slowly being phased out of service due to increase in military demand. SA80 (Small Arms for 1980s) is a family of related arms that include the British Armys standard combat rifle. ... A bipod is a support device that is similar to a tripod or monopod, but with only two legs. ... The SUSAT L9A1 SUSAT is an acronym for Sight Unit Small Arms, Trilux and is a 4x optical sight with tritium-powered illumination for night sighting. ...

There is also a deactivated version, Cadet L103A1 DP (Drill Purpose). The DP is generally used for the teaching of cadets the basics of the weapon they are handling. It is also used for 'Rifle Drill' which is general drill but integrating motions carried out with the rifle, this can also be done effectively whilst marching.

The L98A1 Cadet GP Rifle is expected to be replaced some time within the next five years with a modified version of the L85A2 (SA80) which will be self loading but at the same time lack the L85A2's automatic capabilities. This rifle will be designated the L98A2. Though some adult instructors have confirmed this, there is no official verification regarding the replacement of the L98A1. In addition, due to the LSW's being partly withdrawn from cadet service to be issued to frontline troops, the chance of a replacement cadet weapon seems small.

The first of these new weapons will start to filter through to the cadet units in 2008, however most detatchments will not have these for the next few years to come.

First Aid

Throughout their time in the Army Cadet Force, cadets learn first aid. Yet cadets rarely manage to achieve this pass because of the high level of knowledge needed by the Instructor, which can only be gained after they have attended an intense First Aid instructors course at Frimley Park. Early on, recruits learn how to handle incidents involving a casualty and how to get help. They then pick up the same basic skills taught to regular soldiers, including how to open a casualty's airway, checking breathing and circulation, perform CPR, placing a casualty in the recovery position, and deal with minor and major bleeding. Cadets may complete a British Heart Foundation "Heartstart" Course. First aid is a series of simple, life-saving medical techniques that a non-doctor or layman can be trained to perform. ... For other meanings of CPR, see CPR (disambiguation). ...

In one-star first aid, cadets learn how to handle a situation in which the casualty is in immediate danger using a variety of couses, (i.e. {Using acronyms} Amega <Assess, Make-safe, Emergency aid, Get help and Aftercare.>, d.r.s.a.b <Danger, Response, Shout for help, Airways, Breathing.> and BBB <Bleeding, Burns, Breaks.>)

In two-star first aid, cadets learn how to recognise and treat a much wider variety of injuries and conditions, including burns, concussion and bone fractures, and shock, diabetes and epilepsy. The cadet two-star first aid assessment is equivalent to a St. John Ambulance young life saver qualification. For other uses, see Burn. ... “Cerebral Concussion” redirects here. ... This article is about the skeletal organs. ... For other uses, see Fracture (disambiguation). ... This article is about the medical condition. ...

Progressing yet further, cadets can complete adult first aid qualifications (such as the Life Saver Plus qualification at training 4*), and opportunities to compete regionally and nationally in first aid competitions are open to most cadets.

Map and Compass

Another useful skill cadets learn is how to navigate using a map and compass. Cadets gain the same skills taught to soldiers so that they can plan operations and navigate any terrain. First, cadets learn to care for and use Ordnance Survey maps (and the MOD's maps produced by DGIA (Defence Geographic and Imagery Intelligence Agency) of United Kingdom Training Areas), plot and find six-figure grid references, calculate distances between points, and to recognise various conventional signs. For other uses, see Map (disambiguation). ... This article is about the navigational instrument. ...

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is the United Kingdom government department responsible for implementation of government defence policy and the headquarters of the British Armed Forces. ... DGIA is an Initialism which can stand for: Direcţia Generală de Informaţii a Apărării, (General Directorate for Defense Intelligence, is Romanias military intelligence agency, subordinated to the Ministry of National Defense. ...

The two-star map and compass course then introduces cadets to the Silva (4/6400) and Suunto (M-5N) lightweight protractor compass. Cadets learn to use and plot grid and magnetic bearings in both mils and degrees, to understand the three different types of north, to account for deviation of the grid-magnetic angle, and to understand contour lines and more advanced conventional signs.

With this knowledge cadets can draw up route cards to undertake night navigation exercises or orienteering competitions.

Drill

A time-honoured tradition of the military, cadets are taught drill, which is a method of moving as an individual or as a body in a smart and soldier-like manner. It is also used to foster discipline, pride and teamwork.

Having learnt the positions of attention, saluting and turns at the halt, recruits progress onto marching in quicktime. Many drill movements can be executed while standing still and while marching, and also while holding a rifle. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Each year, drill is used for Remembrance Day parades, and at annual camps large parades take place, with a colour party, in which cadets with rifles march with and guard the standard-bearer. Wreaths of artificial poppies used as a symbol of remembrance Remembrance Day (United Kingdom, Australia, Canada), also known as Poppy Day (South Africa and Malta), and Armistice Day (United States, New Zealand, France, and many other Commonwealth countries; and the original name of the day internationally) is a day to... United States Marines on parade. ...

Closely linked with a cadet's drill is his or her turnout - each cadet is issued with a uniform by the Ministry of Defence and shown how to care for it and appear smart at all times, with ironed-in creases and polished boots.

THE AIM AND PURPOSE OF DRILL The aim of drill is to produce a cadet who is alert and obedient and to provide the basis of teamwork. Drill has evolved over a long period of time and is now accepted as the foundation of military discipline. The main purpose of drill is to enable bodies of cadets to be moved easily and quickly from point to point in an orderly manner. In doing so, it has particular value for cadets in making them alert and teaching them to hold themselves properly, to develop their lungs and muscles and improve their confidence in themselves.

Shooting

After basic lessons on weapon handling and particularly safety, cadets are first taught to fire a 0.22 rifle on a 25 m range. Cadets are taught the principles of marksmanship - natural pointing, position and hold, sight alignment and shot release and follow through. These also apply to the GP Rifle, which is fired typically on 100 m, 200 m and 300 m ranges during annual camps or weekends away. Senior Cadets are also allowed to fire the Light Support Weapon (LSW) at the same ranges. The LSW is an automatic weapon with a SUSAT (Sight Unit Small Arms Trilux) scope.

Cadets who perform exceptionally in rifle shooting can achieve a range of proficiency badges and go on to earn county colours for representing the county at CADSAAM, the Cadet Annual Skill At Arms Meeting shooting competition. In the competition, teams of cadets fire at falling plate targets before getting up and running 100 m towards the target and firing again, then repeating the process, all against the clock.

Cadets also have the opportunity to fire the L91 A2 Cadet Target Rifle in competition at Brigade (CTRM), National (Interservices Cadet Rifle Meeting) and International (Dominion of Canada Rifle Association Matches) level. Many cadets go on to become part of the GB National team representing UK in many international competitions.

Rank System

As well as learning new skills by working through the APC Syllabus, experienced cadets can be awarded a rank. As the Army allows its soldiers to take on responsibility and leadership as non-commissioned officers (NCOs), so too does the Army Cadet Force give a greater role to some cadets. A non-commissioned officer (sometimes noncommissioned officer), also known as an NCO or Noncom, is an enlisted member of an armed force who has been given authority by a commissioned officer. ...

The first rank a new cadet NCO will be given is that of a Lance Corporal (In the Royal Artillery cadet units "Lance Bombardier"). To signify this a single stripe is worn on the brassard, or rank slide. Lance Corporals are a part of the framework of their detachments. They assist with lessons, have authority over cadets and work with other cadet NCOs and Adult Instructors. In field exercises Lance Corporals normally have the position of second-in-command (2ic) of a section. Some units such as the Irish Guards, have a varying rank structure to others, beginning with the rank Corporal, moving to Lance Sergeant and then Sergeant. This is seen as a tradition however their Corporal remains the same rank as a Lance Corporal in other units, and Lance Sergeant the same as Corporal. Lance Corporal (LCpl or L/Cpl) is a military rank used by some elements of the British, Commonwealth, and U.S. armed forces. ... Tactical Recognition Flash of the Royal Artillery The Royal Regiment of Artillery, generally known as the Royal Artillery (RA), is, despite its name, a corps of the British Army. ... A brassard is an approximate triangular shaped piece of fabric designed to be worn around the upper arm, held in place by a shoulder strap on the clothing underneath. ... Second in Command is a 2006 action film directed by Simon Fellows, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. ... This article deals with the current British Army regiment, for historical regiments, see Historical Irish Guards regiments. ...

Above the Lance Corporals are the Corporals, who teach lessons (provided they are qualified to do so i.e. passed Junior Cadet Instructors Cadre at 3 Star), manage the Lance Corporals and act as the section commanders out in the field. Corporals are typically two-star qualified or above. This article is about the military rank. ...

Above the Corporals are the Sergeants and Staff Sergeants or Colour Sergeants, and above these Sergeant Majors, usually holding the appointments of Company Sergeant Major (CSM) and Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) respectively. For other uses, see Sergeant (disambiguation). ... United States Military Staff Sergeant insignia (U.S. Air Force) Staff Sergeant is the fifth enlisted rank in the U.S. Air Force, just above Senior Airman and below Technical Sergeant. ... Colour Sergeant (CSgt or C/Sgt) is an non-commissioned rank in the Royal Marines, ranking above Sergeant and below Warrant Officer Class 2. ... Two Bermuda Regiment Warrant Officers, Second Class. ... Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) is an appointment held by Warrant Officers Class 1 (WO1) in the British Army, Royal Marines and many Commonwealth armies including the Australian Army and New Zealand Army, and by Chief Warrant Officers (CWO) in the Canadian Forces. ...

Also in many counties there is the opportunity for promotion to Under Officer. Although this is not an official rank, it is a chance for senior cadets to gain experience as an officer. The titles of some ranks may vary as cadet detechments are badged to regiments of the Regular Army, and as such adopt their titles. Under Officer is a rank held by Officer Cadets at the British military academies, in the Officers Training Corps and sometimes in the Combined Cadet Force. ...

• Lance Corporal/Lance Bombardier (One bar chevron, worn point down)
• Corporal/Bombardier (Two bar chevron, worn point down)
• Sergeant/Serjeant (Three bar chevron, worn point down)
• Staff Sergeant (Three bar chevron, worn point dowm, surmounted by a crown) or Colour Sergeants (The equivalent rank in the Infantry)
• Company Sergeant Major (A Crown)
• Regimental Sergeant Major (The Royal Arms)

Rank insignia for cadets are usually still the large chevrons (sewn on to the brassard, part of cadet uniform) that have not been used with the regular army for several years. However, use of rank slides is becoming increasingly common, generally among CCF units, but the rank slide must be marked with the letters ACF or CCF (whichever the cadet belongs to) at the bottom to distinguish from regular army ranks. Almost all ACF units still issue the outdated sew-on chevrons to cadets, with rank slides being reserved for adult instructors. However, it is not uncommon for cadet NCOs to purchase their own rank slides and wear them. Colour Sergeant (CSgt or C/Sgt) is an non-commissioned rank in the Royal Marines, ranking above Sergeant and below Warrant Officer Class 2. ...

Also seen are Stable belts (belts in the colours of the cadets badged regiment) The rules for wearing these vary depending on company, for example in one county the rule is for the cadet to be training 3* (passed 2* working on 3*).

Adult Instructors

Adults may join the ACF to instruct through two different routes - as Adult Instructors (AI) or as Commissioned Officers. Prospective Adult Instructors begin as Probationary Adult Instructors (PAIs) before passing a medical, an enhanced disclosure and an Initial Training Course (ITC) held at County Level and run by a Cadet Training Team (CTT). On successful completion of this course they will be appointed to the rank of Sergeant Instructor (SI). Progressive training takes place for Adult Instructors, as with cadets, and an Adult Instructor may take part in various different courses. A further mandatory course at Frimley Park is the AI's (Adult Instructors) course which must be completed within three years of joining. The AI is then qualified to achieve the rank of Staff/Colour Sergeant (SSI). The King George VI (KG6) course is the final course for AI's and the further ranks of sergeant major (SMI), Company sergeant major (CSMI) and regimental sergeant major (RSMI) are possible. This means the AI Promotion is given on a combination of experience, merit, and leadership potential; as in the Regular Army. Adult Instructors will be expected to work in a team with their superiors and senior cadets to be responsible for, and deliver effective training to the cadets.

The other route an instructor in the ACF may take is that of becoming a commissioned officer. The instructor will apply and partake in the same selection process as above, however once a Sergeant Instructor, the individual may apply or be nominated to become a commissioned officer. To do so, as of 2006, the individual must then attend a Cadet Forces Commissioning Board (CFCB), similar to an RCB though less physically testing. The applicant will be assessed on their literacy, problem solving ability, and leadership potential. Successful applicants will then be appointed to a Territorial Army General List Group B Commission in Her Majesty's Land Forces, making them a non-deployable TA Officer. During the selection/training process the applicant will hold the appointment of Under Officer, before receiving the initial rank of Second Lieutenant upon successful commissioning. Commissioned Officers in the ACF will hold senior leadership roles with more responsibility and commitment attached than roles occupied by Adult Instructors. The commissioned officers will also have a commitment to uphold the prestige of a commission in their personal discipline and behaviour - both on and off duty as they are subject to Military Law at all times. 2006 is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Organisation

Most British counties have centralised cadet forces that make up the ACF as a national whole. The counties are generally split into companies, each of which includes several 'detachments', the name given to a unit of cadets that parade in a particular town or village. Companies are usually affiliated with a certain Regiment or Corps within the British Army, and wear their insignia including cap badge, colour of beret and stable belt subject to individual County/Area regulations. Detachments can be given special names, after famous battles fought by the British army, e.g. Rhine, Gibraltar and Waterloo. But some detachments are just called by the name of the town they reside in. A county is generally a sub-unit of regional self-government within a sovereign jurisdiction. ...
