“Over the weekend of 24 April, Shropshire Army Cadet Force dispatched two top teams to Swynnerton Training Area to compete against other cadet units in a rigorous test of military skills. The cadets faced immediate inspection upon arrival and quickly set up camp in an old ammunition bunker, braving a frosty first night.
The first full day began bright and early, with cadets tackling six demanding stands including First Aid, Communications, Harbour Drills, Ambush Drills, Section Attack, and a challenging planning exercise. Despite the intense heat, morale remained high and camaraderie flourished as stories were shared at day’s end.
Day two brought an early start and a tough navigation challenge, pushing both their fitness and teamwork to the limit. Every cadet gave maximum effort, racing against the clock to collect points across the training area.
The results were outstanding: Shropshire ACF B Coy secured a brilliant 2nd place, bringing home silverware for the county, while the combined A/C Coy team achieved a commendable 7th place.

This remarkable success was made possible thanks to the commitment of the CFAV and the determination of every cadet involved.”
