Winter Camp for Cadets of 12th and 13th generation

The Camp comprised various demanding tasks for the cadets; they had to adapt to and apply the learned skills in tactics, small arms handling and command and control in adverse climate conditions.

“Prior to the Camp the cadets had taken an intensive training and three theory classes per week, to enable them to prepare for real conditions; they learned to construct the shelters, light the fire, find food and water outdoor, store the equipment and be able to put everything they find around to use.

Last year the cadets only spent one night outdoor, while this year it was two nights; they had to construct their own wintertime shelters, and learn to walk using snowshoes, and other skills needed to survive the conditions in the Camp setting – there is a 1-m snow cover here already“, said the Winter Camp Commander, Captain Mirko Ištuk.

The Camp also contained training in tactical command and control at the platoon level, practicing autonomously the planning and conduct of tasks, and taking on the roles of company, platoon and squad commander and team leader.

The emphasis was placed on the cadets’ fitness, and the Camp also featured a Sports Day, with squads competing with air rifle and pistol shooting, practice bomb throwing and march disciplines.
