An Officer in the JCCF is a person who has been granted a Commission by the Governor General, under the Jamaica Combined Cadet Force Act, to hold and discharge authority within the Force.
Officers are primarily accountable for the welfare, discipline and efficiency of the Cadets they lead, and for ensuring they are safe and well trained.
They complete a course of Infantry or Specialist Officer Training and are deemed suitable for Commission by a Board of Senior Officers of the JCCF and JDF — ranging from Second Lieutenant (2Lt) up to the highest attainable rank, Brigadier (Brig.)
An Adult Other Rank (OR) is granted an appointment by the Commandant of the JCCF to exercise authority within the Force, upholding the highest standards of discipline and leadership.
Adult ORs ensure the safety, execution of instructions, dress and deportment of Cadets, and serve as master instructors in Drill, Weapon Handling and Fieldcraft.
Usually ex-cadets who’ve completed security vetting and Infantry or Specialist Other Ranks’ Training, they act as senior advisors to Unit Commanders — ranking from Adult Corporal (Cpl) up to Warrant Officer Class One (WO1).
A Cadet is a student of high school age, enrolled in a government secondary institution, who has completed Basic Recruits Training and is published in the JCCF Force Order with a Cadet Identification Number (CINO).
Cadet Other Ranks manage the day-to-day operations of their unit under the guidance of senior Cadets and Adult Volunteers, sharpening leadership and soft skills through training and assigned duties.
Cadets come from every ethnicity, background and parish — ranking from Cadet (Cdt), the entry rank, up to Warrant Officer Class One (WO1).
