Fieldcraft and Navigation played an integral role throughout the entire weekend, as the cadets practiced their tactical skills with exceptional section attacks and harbour defenses. Their progress was a testament to the comprehensive training delivered by the Cadet Force Adult volunteers and the teamwork of the cadets.

One of the highlights of this years Pre-Camp was an introduction to CASEVAC (Casualty Evacuation), a critical exercise that allowed the cadets to put their first aid skills to the test in high-pressure scenarios. Faced with this challenge, the cadets showcased their ability to lead whilst remaining calm and composed, ensuring the safety and well-being of their casualties.

Congratulations to Sergeant Wilkins on his well-deserved promotion. His unwavering commitment to excellence and adherence to the high standards set by both A Company and LNR ACF serve as an inspiration to all.
