The Dominica Cadet Corps has announced an expansion of its organisational structure and recruitment drive, a move the Corps describes as part of an ongoing operational enhancement initiative. The announcement, released by the Corps itself, also highlights a historic first for the island's Independence celebrations: an all-female platoon.
According to the Corps, the changes include the establishment of new units within its structure. The full details of the expansion were not available in the material reviewed for this report, and the Corps' statement has not yet been published in complete form. As a result, the number of new units, the size of the expansion and the number of recruits being sought have not been confirmed.
The Independence platoon is linked to Dominica's Independence celebrations, which are among the most important national occasions on the Nature Isle. The inclusion of an all-female platoon marks what the Corps presents as a historic development for the parade, though the composition, training arrangements and specific role of the platoon in the celebrations have not been detailed in the information available.
The timeline for the expansion and for recruitment has not been confirmed. Residents interested in joining the Corps or following its progress are advised to watch for further official communication from the Dominica Cadet Corps.
The report was first published by Dominica News Online, which carried the Corps' announcement. Dominica 1 will update this story as further details, including the scale of the expansion, the number of recruits and the timetable, are confirmed.
