Army Cadet Force

General information

The Hampshire & IOW ACF County FB page contains all the information about what the cadets get up to across the six Companys within the County.

It promotes the events and activities that take place from camps, sporting events, and training as well as talking about the charity and community aspect of the organisation.

In Hampshire there are 48 Detachments including a Band and Corp of Drums, in locations all over the county, from Fordingbridge to Hayling Island, Ventnor on the Isle of Wight and as far north as Farnborough.

The County Band and Corps of Drums parade at Blighmont TA Centre. Wherever in Hampshire or the Isle of Wight you live there will be a detachment near you.

If you are over 18, why not consider joining as an adult instructor? We are always looking for quality adult volunteers who wish to train as instructors. No military experience is needed, just a desire to work with young people and watch them go further in life.
