May 18/19th saw the annual Royal Marine Cadets Field Assessments take place at Altcar Training Camp Merseyside.
The assessment is of the Cadets knowledge (both theory and practical) of field craft incorporating section attacks, section battle drills and their teamwork and weapons handing abilities.
The Cadets put a lot of work into their preparation and execution however; this was not reflected in the final scores which were down on last year.
A good effort by those Cadets who attended, they gave 100% commitment 100% of the time we were there. The SRMO a Royal Marine Commando Colour Sgt was complementary on the effort the Cadets put in.
