Adventure Training forms an essential part of the Air Cadet's
training syllabus. As well as helping cadets forge new friendships, adventure training enables all cadets to show off their
leadership qualities. |

Many excercises involve two teams being pitted against
each other. These vary and each places emphasis on different aspects of fieldcraft. Some might need you and your team to move
slowly and quietly, sneaking upon an 'enemy' installation, perhaps. Others need speed as well as stealth, and you will have
to decide how much of one to trade off against another. An acknowledged advantage of fieldcraft exercises is that it forces
people to use their initiative much more often. |

Fieldcraft is often used by squadrons as a method of assessing
cadets' leadership qualities - what would happen, for instance if the 1 and 2i/cs (first and second in commands) of your team
went down? Would you take control? Do you have the skills and abilities? |
