  • Drill (marching) which relates heavily to the band
  • Annual Field Exercise-Annual Camp (watermanship courses, leadership training, abseiling/rock climbing, field skills and more) conducted at places like Cultana-El Alamein (near Port Augusta) and Murray Bridge.
  • Field training, putting up hootchies, survival skills, map reading, RATEL (radio procedures), first aid.
