Information about the introduction of the new Cadet Forces Commission has been promulgated through single Service communication channels. All Cadet Force Adult Volunteer Officers have been informed of the new Commission.

The Royal Warrant for the Cadet Forces Commission was approved by Her Majesty The Queen in October 2017 to come into force on 1 November 2017. This enabled the single Services to approve new regulations and delegate the necessary authority to allow the new Commission to be awarded across all cadet forces from 1 December 2017.

From this date all newly commissioned officers in the cadet forces will be appointed to the new Commission, as will existing officers, including those in the Combined Cadet Force (RAF) and Air Training Corps.
