Introduction
This S7 Training policy details the roles and responsibilities of Cadre that assist courses and the criteria to award the Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal (OVSM)
Cadre
A Cadre member is defined as a volunteer who assists in the running of a class in a manner that does not officially require instructor status, and the member is not in an instructor billet in the school. Cadre MUST have completed the course they are cadre for. Exceptions can be made from S7 HQ after discussion with the School's Lead Instructor. Examples of Cadre functions include:
| Game | Description |
| Arma Reforger |
|
| Hell Let Loose |
|
| Squad |
|
| Digital Combat Simulator |
|
| Hell Let Loose Console |
|
Not all classes require Cadre members, and are at the discretion of the Instructor. Cadre members do not instructor courses, and must be qualified Instructors to do so. The medal is awarded for Cadre who attend a total of 3 courses, in any school.
Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal
The Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal (OVSM) is awarded for Cadre members who continually support S7 Training efforts. The criteria for awarding are as follows:
