It was great to welcome three new instructors to Dorset ACF yesterday. The beginning, of what I hope, will be a long and rewarding time with this great organisation. @ArmyCadetsUK @Dorsetacf

The whole defence community is deeply saddened by the death of Field Marshal Lord Guthrie, Chief of the Defence Staff 1997-2001.

We pay tribute to his dedicated service to our Armed Forces and the defence of our country.

Our thoughts are with his friends & family at this time.

A great couple of days running the 3* ranges. @ArmyCadetsUK

A great fieldcraft weekend on Bovy with our senior cadets. Incredible to see confidence and skills grow so much in a relatively short space of time!
