Operation Plot Twist 🧩
132 ACU and 125 ACU Rockhampton Region is currently conducting a combined biv to achieve a few final ticks in the box to get the cadets ready for the NQLD Annual Field Exercise, starting next weekend in Townsville. The cadets have conducted several activities thus far including having orders delivered to them before the plan being changed by a “Plot Twist”. Some first aid training, some navigation exercises, individual day and night movements, engineering involving a trailer. They are doing their final activity for the evening, a lantern stalk by flashlight, before being sent to do personal admin and then bedtime after such a big fun filled day 😴

80 Battalion Drones Activity 🛸
8 members from 132 ACU travelled up to Sarina to be part of the 80 Battalion Drones Activity. The unit was able to meet other cadets from different units from 122 Army Cadet Unit Mackay Region, 131 Army Cadet Unit - Sarina & 145 Army Cadet Unit - Moranbah. The participants got some theory before hand on the safety of drones, the rules and discipline. Then went to the practical side. Cadets took turns on learning how to hover the drone, then flying it around and learning that turning a drone isn’t as easy as the thought it would be. When they weren’t practicing flying, there was a simulation activity conducted on the laptops to give the cadets the better understanding on how to use the controller and learn the finger control to help them when they jump onto the drones again. By the end of it, they achieved a better understanding on the fundamentals and how to fly a drone to a suitable standard. As the unit now travels home, cadets are very excited to tell everyone else back at the unit and continue learning and training to be better drone competitors.

132 ACU would like to thank the instructors, the planning, the facilities provided and the offer for us to attend this activity. Thanks so much to CAPT (AAC) Bradford & LT (AAC) Cahill for hosting us 👏🏻

On the 25th of April 2026. 132 Army Cadet Unit was proudly involved with the Yeppoon and Emu Park Anzac Day service. On the week leading up to the event, lots of practise and preparation went into the Cadet’s amazing performance at Anzac Day. Their commitment was shown through every precise movement and every step during the march.
The unit approached the day with a strong sense of respect, formality, and responsibility, understanding the significance of Anzac Day throughout the nation and community. Their routine most definitely reflected their training and the massive respect they have for the soldiers on Anzac Day.
From the early wake-up of the dawn service to the commemorative march, our unit demonstrated discipline and professionalism. Their efforts contributed to a monumental and significant Anzac Day for all who attended, strengthening the importance of remembrance and continuing the spirit of the Anzacs.
Lest We Forget.
