🪖 EX COLD HARBOUR 🪖

Over the June long weekend, members of 48ACU and 410ACU participated in Ex Cold Harbour, a field activity designed to challenge and develop a variety of skills.

Throughout the exercise, cadets and staff took part in activities focused on fieldcraft, navigation, teamwork, leadership, and resilience. Despite the challenges presented, all participants demonstrated enthusiasm, determination, and a willingness to learn, making the activity a great success.

The exercise also provided an opportunity to recognise the achievements. Congratulations to Jesse Pittard on his promotion to CDTLCPL from CDT as well as Kayley Kemp on her promotion from 2LT(AAC) to LT(AAC).

48ACU would like to extend a sincere thank you to A Coy 10/27 Reserves, SGT Josh Clark and PTE Nat Oorthuis, for their support throughout the weekend. Their knowledge, professionalism, and willingness to share their experiences greatly enhanced the training and provided valuable learning opportunities for our cadets .

Well done to everyone who participated in Ex Cold Harbour. We look forward to seeing the skills and confidence gained throughout the weekend continue to grow at future activities.

A huge thank you to the ACS and visiting Senior Cadets who made this activity possible, without you we wouldn’t be able to run these activities for the cadets.

RSM-A DRILL COMPETITION 2026

Today marks the official kick-off of the Regimental Sergeant Major - Army (RSM-A) Drill Competition, hosted by National Headquarters in Canberra 👏

This event is a fantastic opportunity for drill teams from across the Australian Army Cadets to come together and represent their state with pride, precision, and professionalism. Months of preparation have led to this moment, where discipline, teamwork, and attention to detail will be on full display.

We’d like to wish the South Australia team the very best of luck as they take on the other state teams in this highly competitive environment. Your dedication and hard work have already set a high standard. A massive congratulations to the South Australian cadets who were selected as part of the barbarian team!

Good luck to all teams competing, and congratulations to National HQ for bringing together such an outstanding demonstration of cadet excellence.
