Cadets complete Robert Land Academy Fall Exercise

Oct 16, 2024

College Cadets Milian, Stanley, Renfrow, Camacho and Courtney and Captain Voumard completed the Robert Land Academy Fall Exercise last week.

The annual event is a three-day 70-kilometer hike across the Bruce Trail in southern Ontario, Canada that includes a substantial march phase with various military events and tasks. VFMC’s team was the top finisher at the event, which is traditionally won by the host academy.

The exercise provided a physical and character-building experience that enhanced Company loyalty, fostered teamwork, and developed leadership and also returned the award of the prestigious Baker’s Badge.
