The CCF deployed to South Wales last weekend. The scenario was that the regular army had been deployed to deal with a threat, leaving the CCF responsible for home defence.

The cadets were deployed to South Wales to protect key infrastructure – gas pipelines and data cables. On arrival they soon found themselves in a firefight and were later ambushed on the patrol into their farmhouse base. Keen for revenge, the cadets carried out night recces on several enemy positions. Using intel gained from this, they ambushed the enemy as they moved down a road. 

After a not very good night’s sleep-in sub-zero temperatures, the cadets woke to bright Welsh sunshine. What followed was a long patrol where they located the enemy on a nearby high point and drove them off. Having successfully taken the high ground, the cadets advanced on the enemy base, clearing it of all hostile forces. A successful operation for Warwick School CCF.

Mentions in Dispatches go to Tom and Jacob. A special thanks to Mr Sunner for the many hours of preparation he put into making this exercise happen.
