Australian Navy Cadets

The Australian Navy Cadets (ANC) is a youth development organisation supported by the Royal Australian Navy, with a focus on the maritime domain. The organisation promotes activities, both on land and the water, with the key objectives of building self-confidence and developing teamwork and leadership skills.

The program, which comprises 81 training ships and about 2,350 cadets nationwide, is available to young Australians of all genders and abilities between the ages of 13 and 18.

Together with the Australian Air Force Cadets and Australian Army Cadets, it forms the Australian Defence Force Cadets.

History

Established in the early 1900s, the organisation received official recognition in 1910 with the passing of the Naval Defence Act. Before 1973, the Royal Australian Navy and the Navy League of Australia shared administrative duties for the group, which was then known as the Australian Sea Cadet Corps.

After the Navy assumed full control of it in 1973, the organisation was renamed the Naval Reserve Cadets. In 2000, Australian Navy Cadets was the final name change that was suggested by the Australian Government review "Cadets The Future."

Boys Naval Brigades (Victoria), 1901–1911

Coburg Boys' Naval Brigade c.1908

The Boys Naval Brigades were the earliest youth naval organisation in Australia. This organisation was run in conjunction with the Church of England. In 1901, Chief Gunner Robert Kearns of the Victorian Navy pioneered the Boys Naval Brigade movement, forming the first group near Swan Island, Port Phillip. Soon after, in 1903, the second group was formed in Ballarat. The Boys Naval Brigade disbanded in 1911, when the government issued compulsory training from July 1, 1911. Resulting in its members joining the Defence run Australian Naval Cadet Corps.

Australian Naval Cadet Corps, 1907–1950

March 1907 saw the recruitment for the Australian Navy's 'Australian Naval Cadet Corps.' It wasn't until July of that year where the youth training scheme first commenced activities. The ANC Corps had been active up until 1911 when the Government's Compulsory Training legislation transferred them into the newly created RANR(M) Militia where they continued training throughout the First World War. After the war, the ANC Corps was re-established, and later on in 1929 compulsory training of the ANC Corps had ceased. Once again in 1939, with the breakout of the Second World War, the ANC Corps deferred training as all Naval personnel were needed in the fight. The organisation resumed its efforts after the war but without much luck.

Navy League Sea Cadet Corps NLSCC, 1920–1950

In 1920, a second private Sea Cadet body was formed following the formation of the third Navy League Branch in New South Wales. This NSW Branch, established the Navy League Sea Cadet Corps for young boys. The NLSCC operated in parallel with the ANC Corps which was recently re-established after the war. During the 1920s, the NLSCC expanded rapidly. Other states gradually formed Navy League branches along with their own Navy League Sea Cadet units.

Navy League Sea Cadets at Schnapper Island c.1937

Unlike the ANC Corps who had halted operations during the Second World War, the private NLSCC remained operational but was reduced in units as many volunteer trainers had enlisted to serve in the war. The Royal Australian Navy recognised this effort and gave praise to the NLSCC, who up until now operated with no assistance from the Navy. Negotiations commenced with the Navy League regarding future support, but because the Australian Navy League was a branch of the United Kingdom's Navy League, this was not possible. To facilitate this problem, all Australian Branches joined to form the Australian Body, the Navy League of Australia, and it renamed its cadets the Australian Sea Cadet Corps.

RANR Cadets, 1950–1973

The much smaller and overshadowed RANR Cadets, was the organisation that ran alongside the Australian Sea Cadet Corps. The program was considerably smaller in size compared to its counterpart, with roughly 300 cadets.

Australian Sea Cadet Corps ASCC, 1950–1973

The Australian Sea Cadet Corps, now with support from the Navy, expanded rapidly under the leadership of its volunteer ex-service trainers. By 1970 the organisation reached 2,500 cadets. The Royal Australian Navy expressed concerns about the increasing number of cadets and the cost that would come along with maintaining them. This concern was complied with by the ASCC, and by late 1972 the group had 2,000 members.

Representatives from the Navy League and the RAN talked about their shared concerns in 1972 on the rising costs of managing and sustaining the ASCC program. In the end, the RAN and Navy League decided that the Navy would be solely in charge of training the 2000 strong ASCC and 300 strong ANC. Under new Defence law, the ANC and the ASCC cadets united into the newly formed Naval Reserve Cadets (NRC). The Navy League was given time to restructure its ASCC in the event that the Navy decided to stop training cadets, per an agreement with the Australian Commonwealth Naval Board (ACNB). The ASCC members of the Navy League were transferred into the new Naval Reserve Cadets (NRC) of the RAN in January 1973.

Naval Reserve Cadets NRC, 1973–2000

Problems sprouted early in the newly conjoined Naval Reserve Cadets, when the 21st Prime Minister of Australia, Gough Whitlam cancelled all cadet activities and withdrew ADF support for cadets in 1975. The Navy League's agreement with the Australian Commonwealth Naval Board was honoured by the government who informed the Navy League and gave time for the reorganisation of the ASCC structure. The end of 1975 saw the Whitlam government voted out, and Malcolm Fraser elected the 22nd Prime Minister of Australia. The cadet situation was reviewed, and the Fraser government reinstated cadet training. In 2002, the name was changed back to Australian Naval Cadets, the original name of the 1907 “Australian Navy Cadet” Corps.

Aims

Mission

The Australian Navy Cadets provide nautical training that involves a lot of water-based activities. Navigation, communications, first aid, drill, maritime history, firearms proficiency, and adventurous training are just a few examples of the activities available. With its program, the ANC also hopes to offer the following:

• develop an interest in the Navy and its tradition,
• encourage cadets to continue military or community service,
• give cadets a foundation of military knowledge and discipline,
• develop the qualities of leadership, self-discipline, self-reliance and initiative, and
• provide training that may later assist in achieving competencies required during Navy induction training.

Purpose

Australian Navy Cadets is a youth personal development program conducted by the Australian Navy in collaboration with the community. Its goal is to develop the individual, the community, and the Australian Navy in order to benefit the nation.

Values

Training ship

Training ships operate throughout many locations in Australia, and are attached to a flotilla among other TS units. Each TS is commanded by a Commanding Officer (CO) who holds the rank of LEUT. The CO is often supported by an Executive Officer (XO) who holds the rank of SBLT. Some training ships also have Training Officers (TO) and a Whole Ship's Coordinator (WSC). The number of adult members and cadets can vary considerably, dependent on local circumstances.

Most training ships have a division(s), a division is a group of cadets, normally led by a senior cadet such as a CDTPO or CDTCPO. The ANC division system:

Activities and training

Cadet Youth Development Continuum

The framework that guides the cadet development program is called the Cadet Youth Development Continuum. It gives a cadet the chance to grow important personal qualities, life skills like resilience and teamwork, confidence, loyalty, and respect, and a sense of service to others.

Category Program

The ANC offers three categories which are aligned with the RAN and its many roles. These categories are: Maritime Engineering, Maritime Operations, and Maritime Support. Cadets who reach the rank of Able Seaman are expected to have completed one of these categories. Category badges are awarded on completion of the category's workbook.

Maritime Engineering

The Maritime Engineering category develops a cadet in the basic principles of engineering in the maritime environment. A cadet will gain an appreciation of the mechanical and electrical systems used in watercraft and in larger maritime vessels.

Maritime Operations

The Maritime Operations category develops a cadet with an interest and ability in seamanship and general mariner skills.

Maritime Support

The Maritime Support category develops a cadet with an interest in support functions, including medical, catering, hospitality, supply chain, stores and administration functions.

Elective Program

Electives are optional courses that give cadets the chance to specialize in one or more areas of interest and advance their present level of ability. The electives provide meaningful and helpful life skills through well-designed, up-to-date curricula that are engaging and timely. A cadet will typically select an elective that piques their interest or is in line with the ANC category they have selected.

The electives offered in the ANC consist of:

• Cooking
• First Aid
• Musician
• Physical Fitness and Well-being
• Powerboating
• Sailing
• Skill at Arms
• Bridge Operations
• Drone flying
• Robotics

Cadets of all ranks are given the option to choose as many of these courses as they wish. On completion, elective badges are awarded. Elective badges have three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold.

These elective badges are velcroed onto a black brassard worn on the DPNU and cadets can sew on a max of three badges onto the cuff of their right arm for the ceremonial uniform (S3/W3).

Promotion

Every ANC rank has a workbook that provides the cadet with the knowledge and abilities required to advance to the next rank.

A cadet must go through a Promotion Board, which is led by flotilla staff, when they have attained the rank of Cadet Leading Seaman and wish to be promoted. The cadet's leadership qualities and situational response will be evaluated. In order to advance to Cadet Warrant Officer, you must also complete a promotion board.

International activities

Australian Navy Cadets are members of the ISCA and have the chance participate in the ANC International exchange program.

The program happens multiple times a year, and cadets are able to experience similar organisations in other select countries:

• Canada
• New Zealand
• United Kingdom
• United States of America
• South Korea

The main goals of the Cadet exchanges are to spread friendships, kindness, pleasure, cultural experiences, and knowledge about new places and the operations of other Cadet organisations.

Every Cadet traveling on an exchange is escorted by an adult staff members.

National activities

National activities are fully funded by Defence who arrange the activities, land and air travel, accommodation and food.

Annual National Camp

Cadets are given the opportunity to attend a week-long National Camp at a RAN Shore Establishment such as HMAS Cerberus.

Activities that may be included on a national camp are:

• Visit a Navy warship or submarine
• Fire-fighting and smoke walk
• Target shooting
• Survival at Sea
• Leadership & teamwork challenges
• Rock wall climbing
• Navy helicopter flights
• Drone flying
• Power boating
• Sail training
• Defence careers presentation

Annual National Competitions

A national regatta and shooting competition is hosted every year for cadets across Australia. The teams from each Cadet Unit compete in these events to test their abilities and training. These tournaments evaluate the abilities and activities that the Navy Cadets learn during the year.

Flotilla and unit activities

Flotilla and unit-based activities are among the more basic and frequent events in the Australian Navy Cadet program. Flotillas can offer a variety of events for cadets in any of the training ships situated in their flotilla. Training ships are also able to host their own activities solely for cadets inside their unit. A training ship will always host a 'Parade Night' once a week on a select day. The schedule of a parade night can vary from TS to TS, but will normally have a Colours Ceremony (raising of the flag), Drill Training, Lessons, Action Based Learning (ABLs), Stand Easy (a time to eat) and a Sunset Ceremony (lowering of the flag).

Powerboating

The Australian Navy Cadets teaches the skills required to operate small powerboats safely including weather awareness, basic navigation, and seamanship knowledge.

Sailing

Several opportunities and experiences related to sailing are offered by the Australian Navy Cadets. Cadets can learn to sail at their unit, take part in sailing weekends at one of the Maritime Training Centers, operate a dinghy, and compete against other cadets in regattas.

The Australian Navy Cadets is an authorized Discover Sailing Center under the Australian Sailing Organization.

Firearm training

The ANC offers a comprehensive firearms safety training program using .22 calibre rifles (Bruno CZ452). Cadets learn how to handle a rifle safely before participating in a 'live fire' at a rifle range.

Ranks and uniforms

The uniforms of the Australian Navy Cadets are based on that of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), with only a few differences between the two. Unlike the RAN, the ANC's shoulder flashes and SRIs (Soft Rank Insignia) read "AUSTRALIAN NAVY CADETS" in replace of the RAN's "AUSTRALIA". Another significant difference is between the officer insignia. Staff of the ANC display wavy laces while RAN officers have straight laces. This difference originates from the Royal Australian Naval Volunteer Reserve. CDTPOs and above are not authorised to wear the Senior Sailor style of uniform that the Royal Australian Navy possesses for various reasons, instead conforming to the Junior Sailor's uniform.
