Army Field Day: Exercise Hidden Tiger

In October 2023, Churcher’s College CCF Army section deployed 80 cadets onto Exercise Hidden Tiger on Longmoor training area.

Our fresh-faced recruits were quickly brought up to speed on their basic fieldcraft skills, including camouflage, concealment, stealthy movement, and silent communications.

The assessment took the form of a stalk; in their platoons, cadets had 10 minutes to get as close to an observer on high ground armed with binoculars without being seen, and although the ground was almost completely open, all cadets met the standard required to progress their training.

Under the direction of their staff, all cadets passed their assessment, and demonstrated an excellent understanding of the basic military skills taught throughout the day.

Special mention goes to Cadets Zoe and Oscar for getting within 10m of Captain Gibbins without being seen. As always, huge thanks go to our team of instructors and senior cadets for their tireless efforts on exercise.
