Sword of Honour (TV Movie ) - IMDb Situated on the Campbell family homestead in Canberrawhich had been named " Duntroon " after Duntrune Castle —their ancestral home on Loch Crinan in ArgyllScotland [2] —the college was one of the first Commonwealth facilities established in the newly created capital. The first Commandant of the college was Brigadier General William Bridgeswho Sword of Honour: 24 died on a hospital ship after being wounded Sword of Honour: 24 a sniper on the shores of Gallipoli. During Bridges' frequent absences, Gwynn served as acting Commandant. The First World War provided the college with its first chance to demonstrate its worth. However, when the war broke out in Augustthere had not been enough time for the first class to complete the full Duntroon course. Nevertheless, it was decided to graduate the class early so that they could be sent over to Gallipoli, where General Sir Ian Hamiltoncommander of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, said that " In the beginning, the college offered a four-year course, during which the first two years focused upon civil subjects and the last two years focused upon military subjects. Over the entire course, however, there was military specific training, including physical training, drill, signalling and weapon handling. Over the years, however, with the impact of the two World Wars, the duration and focus of the course changed as the requirements of the Army dictated. Of thesethree went on to have quite distinguished careers, with one rising to the rank of brigadier in the Australian Army, another to brigadier in the New Zealand Army and a third, Sword of Honour: 24. McCayreaching the rank of lieutenant general and serving in the British Indian Army and then becoming chief-of-staff of the newly formed Pakistan Army. Following the war, the length of the course was set at four years again and efforts were made to increase the level of academic rigour in the college's programs. Under this program, the first degrees from RMC were awarded in To graduate, cadets had to achieve passes in both military and academic studies and leadership. A further bastardisation scandal was exposed in As a result of this change, Duntroon ceased to offer university degrees as ADFA became Sword of Honour: 24 for the academic training of Army cadets, as well as those from the Air Force and Navy. As an acknowledgement of this, cent stamps featuring the head of a male officer cadet were printed; the first day of issue was 27 June RMC's purview was expanded in as it "became responsible for the initial military training of all full-time, part-time and specialist service officers in the Australian Army". For a Sword of Honour: 24 period, under the Ready Reserve Scheme, Reserve officers attended the college for a cut-down six-month version of the full-time course. Anonymous reviews of officer training in brought to light racism and harassment of female recruits. Inthe college celebrated its centenary — ; as part of the celebrations, Queen Elizabeth II presented the college with new colours. The majority of the cadets at Duntroon are members of the Australian Army, although the college also trains some Royal Australian Air Force personnel who are training to become Ground Defence Officers. By tradition a small Sword of Honour: 24 of officer cadets from New Zealand also attend the college, while since there has been a steady Sword of Honour: 24 of foreign cadets attending the college from nations in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. This title came about due to the fact that originally graduates entered the Staff Officer Corps of the Australian Army. The title was kept on as a tradition at Duntroon, however, although officer trainees at all other Australian Army officer training establishments are referred to as 'officer cadets'. Administratively, the cadets are organised into a nominal infantry battalion structure, which is known internally as the 11th Infantry Battalion, [Note 3] with companiesplatoons and sections which form the Corps of Staff Cadets. Within each of these formations there are cadets from all three classes levels of trainingwho are organised into an Sword of Honour: 24 hierarchy that gives the cadets themselves responsibility for looking after their Sword of Honour: 24 administration while the Corps is in barracks, albeit with guidance and supervision from training staff. Field training, however, is delivered by the non-commissioned officers and commissioned officers of the training staff and during this phase the cadets are separated into their distinct class groups. Since its inception, the size of the Corps of Staff Cadets has fluctuated. Initially the Corps was organised into a single company, however, in the decline Sword of Honour: 24 the number of cadets being Sword of Honour: 24 meant that in reality only two platoons existed. Inwhen the four-year course was re-established following its suspension during the Second World War, the Corps was organised into two companies that were designated alphabetically Sword of Honour: 24 and 'B'. These companies were re-organised the following year, however, as the Corps was expanded to cadets and a fourth company raised. At this time the alphabetical designations were replaced with geographical names that were chosen based upon places where Australians had fought: GallipoliBardiaAlamein and Kokoda. By the number of cadets had risen further tonecessitating the raising of a fifth company and at this stage it was decided to name the companies after famous Australian battles, these names being: AlameinGallipoliKokodaKapyong and Romani. The sixth company, Romani, is used for Reserve officers who come to the College in January and July to complete the final module of their training. The charter of the Royal Military College, Duntroon is "to produce officers capable of commanding platoon -sized elements in the Hardened and Networked Army concept, and to prepare specialist candidates for commissioning. The College prepares cadets and other selected candidates for Sword of Honour: 24 in the Army by promoting leadership and integrity; by promoting high ideals and the pursuit of excellence, and by inculcating a sense of dutyloyalty and service to the nation". The course is designed to test the cadets physically and mentally and graduation is by no means guaranteed. Upon graduating, cadets are Sword of Honour: 24 to the rank of lieutenant and receive a Diploma in Military Leadership. Within the full-time course, there are two streams of cadets, those that enter from the Australian Defence Force Academy and those that enter through the direct entry method. The college also oversees the program for training Sword of Honour: 24 in the Australian Army Reserve. Upon appointment to the Reserves, members join a University Regiment within their location and then undertake their training over the course of five modules run by the various University Regiments around Australia. Additionally, they are required to parade at their unit one night a week and one weekend a month. The final six-and-a-half-week module of the Reserve officer course is conducted at Duntroon. In Januarythe Part-time Officers course was shortened to a duration of days, with further employment training, specific to Corps allocation, conducted thereafter. Essentially, this program involves undergraduate sponsorship of university students, Sword of Honour: 24 are appointed as Officer Cadets in the Australian Regular Army, while they study. During their tertiary study, they train with the applicable University Regiment as reservists and conduct modules of training as they are able to fit in around their studies. At the conclusion of their study provided they have completed the necessary modules they enroll at Duntroon in II Class. The Band of the Sword of Honour: 24 Military CollegeDuntroon has been in existence in some shape or form since when a part-time band was established from volunteers drawn from the riding staff. In the s the band began performing shows for Sword of Honour: 24 charities, known as the "Strike up the Band" shows [47] and this continues today, albeit under the guise of the "Music at Midday" shows which the band performs six times a year, with proceeds going to local charities. The College itself is situated at the foot of Mount Pleasant on the Duntroon estate. The base is one of the only military bases in Australia that is open to the general public, consisting of a large area of land incorporating a golf course, [49] a library, a residential area for Defence members and their families, various area logistics and infrastructure units, a military hospital, a retail area, [50] vast sporting facilities and the Australian Defence Force Academy.
