The Air Cadets, as a military youth organization, sets itself and its members very high standards, including dress and behaviour. Drill is a vital part of encouraging team work.

The Air Cadet Organisation encourages teamwork and well disciplined cadets among many things.

Drill (marching) is a vital part of encouraging teamwork. When a group of twenty cadets walk on to a drill square they are all individuals, but as soon as a session of drill begins the cadets become a team following the orders given by one person. Instead of twenty individual feet hitting the ground, there is only one bang this is result of practice and teamwork.

Drill is also used to move cadets from one place to another in a smart orderly fashion. This shows civilians and members of the forces just how well disciplined the cadets of the Air Training Corps are. This section has been designed for everyone within the Corps and those interested in joining the Corps.

There are maay forms of drill, but we usually just do foot and basic drill at the squadron, but every year at the remembrance day parade, we are required to take the banner, and then the NCO’s need to carry the banner and learn the banner drill.
