ORGANISATION OF SENIOR CADETS.

All those liable to be trained as Senior Cadets shall be allotted to the Naval or Military Forces, and shall be trained in the elementary Naval or Military exer­cises, and in musketry on open ranges up to distances of 500 yards, and shall be organised in Naval or Military units.

Senior Cadets, not allotted to the Naval Forces, will be organised in battalions, each battalion being raised in a Battalion Area, and numbered according to the number of the Battalion Area in which it is raised.

Battalions will be divided into companies.


Companies, where necessary for training purposes, may be further divided into detachments.

The number of companies in a battalion will depend upon the number of Senior Cadets in a Battalion Area, and their local distribution.

The establishment of a company shall be—

1 Captain
2 Lieutenants
1 Colour-Sergeant
4 Sergeants
4 Corporals
4 Lance-Corporals
2 Buglers
102 Cadets
120 Total

Provided that where sufficient numbers are not available in one locality a company may consist of a less number, but the total for a company shall not be below 80; any less number shall be organised as a detachment.
