I commissioned this Review in July 2010 in the wake of celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of the Cadet Forces. I wanted to ensure that we were making the most of not just the Cadet Forces but the many other youth engagement activities that the MOD, including the Armed Forces, undertake. I believe that not enough is done to promote the work that we do in this area. For too long we have been keeping Defence’s Youth Engagement activities to ourselves.

  • Portsmouth Dockyard in the Twentieth Century1
    PART THREE PORTSMOUTH DOCKYARD IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY1 3.1 INTRODUCTION The twentieth century topography of Portsmouth Dockyard can be related first to the geology and geography of Portsea Island and secondly to the technological development of warships and their need for appropriately sized and furnished docks and basins. In 2013, Portsmouth Naval Base covered 300 acres of land, with 62 acres of basin, 17 dry docks and locks, 900 buildings and 3 miles of waterfront (Bannister, 10 June 2013a). The Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust (Heritage Area) footprint is 11.25 acres (4.56 hectares) which equates to 4.23% of the land area of the Naval Base or 3.5% of the total Naval Base footprint including the Basins (Duncan, 2013). From 8 or 9 acres in 1520–40 (Oppenheim, 1988, pp. 88-9), the dockyard was increased to 10 acres in 1658, to 95 acres in 1790, and gained 20 acres in 1843 for the steam basin and 180 acres by 1865 for the 1867 extension (Colson, 1881, p. 118). Surveyor Sir Baldwin Wake Walker warned the Admiralty in 1855 and again in 1858 that the harbour mouth needed dredging, as those [ships] of the largest Class could not in the present state of its Channel go out of Harbour, even in the event of a Blockade, in a condition to meet the Enemy, inasmuch as the insufficiency of Water renders it impossible for them to go out of Harbour with all their Guns, Coals, Ammunition and Stores on board. He noted further in 1858 that the harbour itself “is so blocked up by mud that there is barely sufficient space to moor the comparatively small Force at present there,” urging annual dredging to allow the larger current ships to moor there.

  • Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Associations
    Library Briefing Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Associations QSD on 27 January 2020 On 27 January 2020, Lord de Mauley (Conservative) is due to ask Her Majesty’s Government “what assessment they have made of the contribution of Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Associations to the work of the reserve forces and the cadets, to national defence and to the armed forces covenant”. Summary • The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Associations (RFCAs) give advice and assistance to the Defence Council, and to the army, navy and air force on matters that concern reserves and cadets. They are central government bodies with crown status. RFCA business is publicly funded and delivered regionally. • The RFCA is comprised of 13 individual associations which cover the UK. The associations are largely comparable with regional government boundaries. • A council of RFCAs (CRFCA) has been constituted by the 13 individual RFCAs in order to provide central coordination. • The RFCAs each have their own scheme of association, drawn up by the Defence Council, under the provisions of the Reserve Forces Act 1996. The schemes last for five years, after which re-constitution must take place. • Each association is responsible for the wellbeing of the region’s reserve forces and cadets, promoting the interests of the armed forces, and building relationships with the local community and employees. They work with the chains of command of the three services to deliver support to the reserves and cadets. • RFCAs maintain and support reserve training centres, cadet centres and training areas within which the reserves and cadets of all three services can conduct their activities.

  • Volunteer Cadet Corps Royal Navy and Royal Marines Cadets Alamein Block Volunteer Cadet Corps HMS EXCELLENT Whale Island PORTSMOUTH PO2 8ER
    Headquarters Volunteer Cadet Corps Royal Navy and Royal Marines Cadets Alamein Block Volunteer Cadet Corps HMS EXCELLENT Whale Island PORTSMOUTH PO2 8ER Military: 93832 7495 Telephone: 023 9254 7495 Email: [email protected] HQVCC/17/CAREERS www: www.volunteercadetcorps.org See distribution. 9 May 17 VOLUNTEER CADET CORPS ARMED FORCES CAREERS LIAISON TEAM Introduction 1. The Volunteer Cadet Corps takes children from the ages of 9 to 17. Having spent much of their formative years in a pseudo-military environment it is probably not too surprising that a number of cadets would like to have a career in the Armed Forces. 2. The length of time a cadet spends with the VCC, coupled with the excellent cadet training provided by their Service, ex-Service and civilian instructors give VCC Staff an almost unique insight into how a teenager/young adult could expect to fare in the Regular Forces. However, it has been both surprising and disappointing to discover that some cadets have not demonstrated the potential, often evident to VCC Staff, when they present themselves at the Careers Office. 3. Discussions with the Portsmouth Armed Forces Careers Office (AFCO) and unsuccessful applicants has identified that improvements to individual preparation could see a marked increase in the success rate of our Cadets. Careers Liaison Team 4. To address this we have established a Careers Liaison Team (CLT) for the VCC Units. A pilot scheme has been successfully trialled in HMS EXCELLENT and the CLT will initially be available to the Units in the Portsmouth area; however, it will expand to cover the Units in the South West during the Summer.
