Hi guys,
I understand that in Tim Huxleys's "Defending the Lion City",it was
quoted that the National Cadet Corp (NCC) is to be considered as a
Paramilitary Unit.
Now I have a few questions here...Hope you guys can help clarify my
doubts.
1st:In war,will the NCC be activated to guard installations or
engage in combat with the invaders as a reserve force as we have
like 16,000 cadets?
2nd:Who will be leading the NCC cadets?Will it be the teacher
officers,cadet lieutenants and cadet specialists?Or will SAF
Officers and Specialist will command them?
3rd:Will teacher officers,cadet lieutenants and cadet specialists
be granted the same power and authorities of those of the same rank
in the SAF?
4th:If any member of the NCC is caught and made a POW,will they be
subjected to the same rules under the Geneva Convention?
5th:Where will the NCC units from the various schools be drawing
their weapons and ammunition from in the event of war?As from my
understanding,HQ NCC only has an armoury of a couple hundred AR-15s
and M-16s for training and live firing.And the magazines are also
limited, \also the bayonets available there are for ceremonial
use.
6th:Where will equipment like SBO,helmet etc...be drawn?As they do
not have personal issued equipment like SBo,helmet all that.
