(Created 23rd June) Great book - you can tell the author really knows his stuff. As an ACF instructor I would recommend this to all new staff and cadets alike as it gives you a concise and accessible summary.

(Originally posted 22nd June 2017) An absolute treasure for cadets going through the system (even if they have passed basic as they can use it for revision and teaching) and for instructors to have around the detachment as a 'go to' training aid. It's about time we had an up-to-date and easy to read condensed version on the manual.
