Combined Cadet Force

 

 

The CCF is an activity that aims above all to give opportunities to young people to experience a very wide range of challenges, using the enormous resources of the Services.  It is, furthermore, the means of giving the next generation of taxpayers an idea of the functions of the Armed Forces in the UK, and an understanding for the need for their existence.

 

It develops skills and discipline – imposed and self – and of leadership reflected in the rank structure.  It teaches skills, weapon safety and handling with the opportunity to shoot nationally and internationally.  It encourages skills in handling radios, power and sailboats, gliders and powered aircraft.  Under the leadership of trained experts, it opens the possibility of mountain work, sub aqua and parachuting to name but three.
