A clash of forces will occur this weekend when five Units of the Australian Defence Force Cadets come together on Sunday for the Mackay Region’s annual Tri Service Challenge.
With last year’s event being such a success, the Navy, Army and Air Force Cadets are going all out to win the Champion’s Trophy for their Unit in 2022.
Competitions include Drill routines, First Aid Skills, Relays and Tug-of-War which will all be hotly contested.
Co-ordinating Officer for this year’s event, Major AAC John Zimmermann OAM, says the Cadets enjoy the opportunity to come together to contest in events to continue the friendly rivalry between each of the Units.
“The Jubilee Year Games continues the spirit of teamwork from formal events such as ANZAC Day to enable the Cadets to compete together in rivalry while participating in a variety of fun activities,” he said.
Mayor of Mackay Region, Councillor Greg Williamson will visit the Cadets during the day together with the Brigade Commander and Regimental Sergeant Major of the North Queensland Australian Army Cadet Brigade.
The Challenge will take place at Queens Park on Sunday where families and Support Groups will cheer on their Teams.
The Australian Defence Force Cadets is comprised of the Australian Navy Cadets, Australian Army Cadets and Australian Air Force Cadets for teenagers aged 13 to 18 years.
