The Combined Cadet Force
The Combined Cadet Force (CCF) has one of the longest histories of all the cadet forces sponsored by the MOD, dating back to the 1850s when a number of schools formed units which were attached to Rifle Volunteer Battalions for Home Defence.

Today the CCF contingents form a vibrant, inclusive youth organisation within 7 Welsh schools for pupils aged between 13 and 18, offering significant developmental opportunities in a unique educational partnership with the schools in which they are based.
 
Through the use of military-orientated and adventurous training, cadets also have the opportunity to develop their sense of responsibility and the qualities of self-reliance, resourcefulness, endurance, perseverance and a sense of service to the community.
The acquisition of these personal attributes at a formative stage will remain of value throughout the cadets' lives and will be relevant in whatever career they pursue.
 
The CCF contingents currently operate in Christ College Brecon, Hartridge School Newport, Llandovery College, Monmouth School, Ruthin School, St Brigids School Denbigh and Treorchy Comprehensive School.
