Fieldcraft

Fieldcraft is an all-encompassing term for lots of different skills and activities. Your training will typically start with the basics of personal camouflage and concealment, stealthy movement in the field, and learning to work as part of a team to accomplish certain tasks.

You’ll also learn about cooking and setting up your camp in the field, where communication skills and working as part of a team are vital, and cadets learn more about strategic planning, cooperation and collaboration.

Fieldcraft exercises are a particular focus of CCF (Army) training, but CCF (RAF) and CCF(RM) cadets may also undertake aspects of fieldcraft training.Teamwork and communication are both skills developed in fieldcraft exercises that are readily transferable to everyday life.
