  • Somerset Army Cadets' Military
    Somerset Cadet Bn (The Rifles) ACF Jellalabad House 14 Mount Street Taunton Somerset TA1 3QE Tel: 01823 284486 e: [email protected] armycadets.com/somersetacf/ Version: 20181004_U13 SOMERSET ARMY CADETS’ MILITARY KNOWLEDGE - AN OVERVIEW Military Knowledge training and testing has become somewhat disjointed and awkward to teach over the last few years, principally because there appears to have been no central database of information available to allow both teachers and cadets to learn what is involved. This document, which is in a constant process of evolution, attempts to ameliorate that. Any suggestions that you may have to enhance this document should be addressed to WO2 (SMI) Peter Russell at [email protected]. I have tried to bring all the information relating to the Basic, 1 Star and 2 Star teaching and testing under one roof, whilst providing a document which, in a small way, tries to elevate the often boring information to a level that provides interest and fun as well as knowledge. History is much more than dates - it is about people - real people just like the cadets of today, who made their mark on history. Wherever possible anecdotes and stories relevant to the Army Cadets and our forebears will be found which adds a human face to history, so often missing in other documents. Here you will find the APC Syllabus regarding the three levels of training/testing, the rank structure of the Army Cadets and regular forces, extracts from AC71462- Cadet Training Manual Volume 1, AC 71310 Customs of the Service, a history of Somerset Army Cadets, Somerset Army Cadets’ structure and appointments, a history of The Rifles and its antecedents, a history of the Army Air Corps (in light of the new AAC badged Platoon formed in 2018) and extracts from other relevant Army Cadets’ manuals that aim to throw light into the darkness.
