    Combined Cadet Force Royal Air Force A Commissioning Aide Memoire for the Officer Cadre Version 1 “Where else could you learn to fly aerobatics, visit Royal Air Force Stations, tour foreign countries, play sports from local to international level, learn the skills to lead expeditions, become a target shooting marksman, gain your Duke of Edinburgh Awards, canoe through white water, assist your community, join a band, learn aviation subjects, go caving, parachute, climb, sail, ski...? These and much more are readily available to you as a member of the Air Cadet Organization.” Air Commodore Jon Chitty OBE. Introduction The school cadet organisation originates from 1859, when schools at Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Rossall, Felsted, Hurstpierpoint, Winchester and Tonbridge formed armed uniformed units as part of a national reserve to counter a perceived threat from abroad. By 1900, cadet units were established in over 100 schools across the country and in 1908, these units were re-titled the Officer Training Corps (OTC). In 1948, the OTC was renamed the Combined Cadet Force. The aim of the Combined Cadet Force is to provide a framework through which young people develop the qualities of team work, self-reliance, resourcefulness, leadership and responsibility. A weekly programme of military training is designed to give young people at King’s a chance to exercise responsibility and leadership, to provide them with knowledge of our defence forces, and to encourage those who might be interested in becoming officers of the Armed Services. Uniform members of the Combined Cadet Force will regularly stay on Royal Air Forces bases, therefore it is important that cadets are able to demonstrate an awareness of the structure and organisation of the Royal Air Force, its role in the defence of the United Kingdom and her interests and the operations in which the Royal Air Force are currently engaged.

  • Rank in the Navy
    RANK IN THE NAYY. SPEECH OF HON. AARON F. STEVENS, OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, DELIVERED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, January 23, 1871. WASHINGTON, D. C. : JUDD & DETWEILER, PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS 1871, SPEECH The House having under consideration the bill (H. R. No. 1832) toregulaterank in the Navy of the United States, and for other purposes— Mr. STEVENS said: Mr. Speaker : As the gentleman from Pennsylvania does not in- dicate the amount of time which he wishes to occupy, I will proceed to state generally the provisions of the bill, and to some extent its history, after which I will cheerfully yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania. I am quite sure that the gentlemen of this House, whose attention I shall have the honor-to secure, will not confess themselves strangers to the question raised by the provisions of this bill. Nor will they, I think, treat it as a trivial or unimportant question, connected as it is with one of the principal branches of the public service. I do not seek to disguise the fact that within the past two years the regu- lation of rank in the Navy has become a question of more public importance than has ever been conceded to it in former times outside of those immediately interested in its settlement. It is but truth to say that no question of military organization and detail has ever, except in time of war, excited so much interest as that to which I now desire to call the attention of the House, and which this bill seeks to regulate and fix upon a just and permanent basis.

  • US Military Ranks and Units
    US Military Ranks and Units Modern US Military Ranks The table shows current ranks in the US military service branches, but they can serve as a fair guide throughout the twentieth century. Ranks in foreign military services may vary significantly, even when the same names are used. Many European countries use the rank Field Marshal, for example, which is not used in the United States.

However, it wasn’t until 1776 that the first submarine to make an attack on an enemy ship was built. Named the Turtle, it was designed by David Bushnell and was built with the intention of breaking the British of the submarine naval blockade in New York Harbor during the American Revolution. Operated by Sergeant Ezra Lee, the Turtle made an unsuccessful attack on a British ship on 7 September 1776. Several more submarines were attempted over the years, but it wasn’t until the beginning of the 20th century that modern day submarine warfare was born. At the start of World War I, submarines were still in their infancy. Considered to be ‘unethical’ and not fitting into the conventional rules of war, few foresaw the watershed in naval warfare that submarines were to bring about. Once their true capabilities were realised, submarines had a substantial impact on World War I: sinking ships, laying mines, blockading ports and providing escorts to trans-Atlantic convoys. During World War II, submarine technology advanced significantly. The Germans, who were operating U-Boats in the Atlantic Ocean, developed the ‘snorkel’ (allowing the boat to recharge its batteries while staying submerged).
