Cadets on their 4 star CIS training

Communications and Information Systems training

Cadets had refresher training on the 710 which is out of quarantine, and got their hands on the 715 radio system for the first time and learned the 720.

They also learned advanced voice procedures and Battle Code (BATCO).

A really successful weekend with so much achieved!

CIS refers to Communications and Information Systems. CIS involves the use of technology and systems to facilitate communication, information sharing, and tactical operations.

In the ACF, cadets may learn about CIS through training exercises, simulations, or practical activities, such as:

– Radio communications: Using radios to transmit and receive information
– Network operations: Understanding and utilising digital networks for communication and information sharing
– Cyber security: Protecting information systems from cyber threats
– Information management: Collecting, processing, and disseminating information effectively

CIS plays a crucial role in modern military operations, enabling effective communication, situational awareness, and decision-making. Cadets learnt about CIS can develop valuable skills in technology, problem-solving, and teamwork.
