FAQ
Is combat dress allowed for regular cadets?
Combat dress is issued only to cadets selected for Army Attachment, TSC, Para Basic or YEP. We supply it against the battalion's selection list.
Two combat sets or one?
Two. Fourteen days of field routine with one set means a wet uniform on parade. Units that took one set have come back for a second.
