Fieldcraft

The term fieldcraft covers events such as night exercises, over night exercises and training in camouflage and concealment. Cadets are trained in a variety of skills, which they can apply in the environment of exercises.

Exercises take on a variety of scenarios including the idea of a down pilot where cadets have to locate a dummy and recover it. Exercises combine and test the skills of map reading, leadership, teamwork and specific skills such as camouflage and concealment.
