2025 Senior Leadership team

ADJUTANT Liam Keable

As the incoming Cadet Adjutant for 2025, I’m excited to step into this role and work alongside our outstanding cadet team. Having had the privilege of attending courses at Puckapunyal, including the Senior Leadership Course and the CUO Warrant Officers Course, I’ve gained invaluable skills and unforgettable memories. I look forward to bringing enthusiasm, discipline, and a touch of humour to the year ahead as we navigate training, parades, and all the challenges in between. 

RSM Seamus Byron

I am privileged to be the 2025 RSM for the Cadet unit. Much of my role includes discipline, dress and bearing. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with the cadets after having attended specialist and promotional leadership courses at Puckapunyal. In 2025, I plan to work closely with ADJT Liam Keable to ensure that the cadets have a positive experience learning new skills and building their resilience while having fun.

Remembrance day

On the 11th of November, 1918, the first world war ended with the signing of an armistice. The first world war claimed over 16 million lives, including over 60,000 Australians. Service is a core value of the Australian Army Cadets and it is important that we honour their sacrifice and carry on their legacy. The 23 senior cadets as well as cadets from 315 ACU Hamilton did just this on Monday 11th November, attending the remembrance day ceremony in support of Hamilton RSL at the cenotaph near Melville Oval. They conducted themselves very well and demonstrated respect for all those who died for our country. Big thank you to everyone who attended and helped organise the event for making the day run smoothly. Lest we forget.

Senior Biv

On the 12th of November, the incoming senior cadets for 2025 attended a leadership and teambuilding camp in Halls Gap. The camp was a great way for the cadets to get to know the rest of the seniors and a great opportunity to develop leadership and teamwork skills that will carry over to many aspects of their lives. The activities ranged from navigation and radio communication to an escape room where the cadets had fun trying to solve the puzzles and decipher cryptic clues. Thanks to Ms Adams and Mr Ough for preparing our meals and to Major Byron and Captain Toffolon for making the camp run smoothly.
