Cambridgeshire Army Cadet Force Combat Cadet 2022
Every year cadet units from across the 7 Brigade region, from up in Derbyshire to down to Essex, are invited by the Cadet Training Team to join together and compete in two days worth of tough exercises to test the skills and knowledge of senior cadets.
In preparation for the competition, the cadets had taken part in County training and a selection process under the experienced supervision of Captain Blake and SMI Gardiner. A team of 9 were successful in being picked for the team to represent the County in the competition.
The team
IC - Sgt Lowrie from Ely Detachment
2IC - staff Cadet Sgt Harris from Soham Detachment Medic - Cpl Hamilton from Soham Detachment RSM Rice from Whittlesey Detachment CSM Cameron-Wickes from March Detachment Sgt Parker from Longstanton Detachment Cpl Parry from Yaxley Detachment Friday night was the coming together of the team with representatives from all 3 Companies. Unfortunately, Covid reduced the team , and we took a section of 7 cadets to compete against the other ACF and CCF teams.
Getting all kit together and travelling to Thetford, they were thrown straight into briefings and ammo prep for the morning, before bedding down in a hangar for the night.
After a cold night, starting with a 5am wake up call, the cadets rose to the challenge for the gruelling and relentless stands on the Saturday.
The morning was based in an TIBUA (training in a built up area), completing 5 section stands and platoon assault. From rescuing a casualty, traversing through a small space, to clearing a house, they were put into situations they have never encountered before where their teamwork and communication skills were continually tested along with their fieldcraft skills.
After a small reprieve they moved into the second phase of the competition, designed to assess their knowledge of offensive operations and fieldcraft theory. Completing one stand after another culminating in a flanking section attack finished their first day of the competition.
Sunday brought another early start, and the convoy of minibuses was away for the final phase of the competition focusing more on the skills needed to be a cadet. A patrolling exercise, an observation activity recorded on a range card, a march and shoot comprising of a 2 km run straight into an air rifle shoot and a micro navigation exercise.
All teams came together for the final parade under the close eye of the Cadet Training Team RSM before the parade was given to the Colonel Marc Godfrey, Colonel Cadets East Anglia, to present the medals and awards to the competing teams. At the end of the competition, Cambs ACF Combat Cadet Team have come away with bronze medals, a fantastic achievement.

    A couple of non-native-English-speaking soldiers asked to watch this to prepare them for some typical instructions they might encounter while serving as NATO troops in the UK. The voices on the video can be difficult to hear and the voice recognition is often completely wrong, so I recorded as best I can a transcript of what the instructor and soldier being tested say. I'm not military myself, so I may have misheard some of the details. I put it here in case anyone else would find it helpful. If anyone has any suggestions for corrections, please add feedback! Okay, this weapon’s not been under your direct supervision but what-I-want-you-to-do is TAKE CONTROL OF THE WEAPON. What I want you to do is HAND (it) BACK OVER TO ME. The clip. Keep hold of the weapon yourself. Can we do our ???? here? Okay. Take a seat. What I want you to do is STRIP THE WEAPON FOR A NORMAL DAY’S CLEANING. (1:09) Okay, while you’re stripping your weapon can you tell me what sized flannel you’ve used to clean the barrel. 45 by 45 millimetres. What size (something) flannel would you use to clean the barrel? 45 by 45 millimetres Okay, can you show me how you would examine the barrel cleanliness. That's Great! When would you strip a magazine When it’s really needing a clean because of dirty conditions. Yeah that’s fine. Can you explain to me or demonstrate how you’d remove filing or debris from the chamber. Just talk me through it. With the correct tool, I would … erm put a swab in there, or a brush Yes, that’s fine, thank you. 2:15 Okay, what I want you to do is REASSEMBLE THE WEAPON and CARRY OUT THE WEAPONS FUNCTION TEST. 3.56 Okay, for the next test, whachawanya to do is remove the penny, depress it and fill the magazine with 10 new rounds. Are you gonna say start or just, (youknow)…? Okay, go! 4:29 Excellent, well done. And on the word of command, “go” I want you to remove the 10 rounds. “Go!” Can you put the penny press back into the magazine, please? Okay, can you put the magazine in your ammunition pouch. Sling the weapon and stand up. Okay, listen in: with the magazine with the penny depressor fitted, “Load!” “Down!” “Ready!” 5:39 “With the magazine with the penny depressor fitted, “Make set!” (?) 6:01 “Ready!” 6:07 “(Tightens to front). Go on.” Rifle firing right. Rifle firing right. Rifle stops. 6:22 Upon looking at the cocking handle, the cocking handle is fully forwards. Rifle fires right. Rifle fires right. 6:32 Stop! 6:37 Go on! Rifle fires right. Rifle fires right. Rifle fires right. Rifle stops. Upon looking at the cocking handle, the cocking handle is fully forwards. Rifle still fails to fire. 7:00 Now, upon examination, the body of the chamber, your see rounds in the magazine and no rounds in the chamber. Rifle fires right. Rifle fires right. Stop! Go on! Rifle fires right. Rifle fires right. Rifle stops. 7:30 Upon looking at the cocking handle, you see the cocking handle is neither fully forwards, nor fully rearwards. Obstruction. Obstruction clear. Rifle fires right. Stop! Go on! Rifle fires right. 8:01 Rifle fires right Rifle stops. 8:06 Upon looking at the cocking handle…So for this weapon, can you just hold the (?) to the rear 8:16 Upon looking at the cocking handle, you see is full rearwards. Upon looking inside the rifle, you see that there are no rounds in the magazine and no rounds in the chamber. Go on. Rifle fires right. Rifle fires right. Stop. Unload! 8:53 Stand up! End of session What? End of session.

    Some things to make sure to remember as they are easy to forget: Tap forwards. Always check safety. Right hand at rear to catch the spring should it fly out. Pre-strip NSP: Don't fire it off. Pick up the imaginary round that leaves the chamber after opening (when readied) Don't forget to take your time and talk/think yourself through it.

      The L98A2 does not have a change lever as it is a system designed for use in the cadet forces and is semi only (no automatic capability). You may be thinking of the L85A* SA80 and L86A* LSW systems that can fire semi and auto.

    • @dataplate
      @dataplate 11 місяців тому

      In the cadet forces, the weapon is stripped only to a certain extent to prevent the risk of losing small components. Stripping the bolt carrier assembly is restricted to adult instructors to ensure proper handling. The same principle applies here as if you were to give a cadet two ball bearings in a sealed room - one would get lost, and the other will get broken.

  • @codbudgie
    @codbudgie Рік тому

    Interesting video. I'm curious. What's the reason behind the karate chop to the cocking handle when the I guess bold is already forward asides from ensuring the handle is fully forward. I can't help but think the bolt (hope I got that right) should move fully forward without obstruction.

    • @mattfuck12321
      @mattfuck12321 Рік тому

      sometimes and only sometimes all weapons have bolts that may not fully seat forward due to carbon build up or dirt. So a forward assist (karate chop) is to ensure the sear is engaged ready for trigger to be pulled. If not then you can pull the trigger all day and it won't do a thing until the bolt is fully seated in the chamber. This weapon usually doesn't have a problem but the A1 version of the SA80 did, so the drills followed for any case scenario. Take note: not the cadet GP rifle A1 variant as that was bolt action only. (l98A1).
