# Cadet forces vocabulary
#
# A controlled vocabulary of the United Kingdom's cadet organisations as found in
# official and historical personnel records - the Combined Cadet Force, the Army Cadet
# Force, the Air Training Corps and the Sea Cadet Corps.
#
# WHY A SCHEME OF ITS OWN. Two reasons, and the first is the stronger.
#
# The Combined Cadet Force is TRI-SERVICE: a school contingent has Army,
# Royal Navy and Royal Air Force sections, and a record naming the CCF rarely
# says which. Filing it under any one force states something about a person
# that is not known.
#
# And these are youth organisations rather than fighting formations. Someone
# honoured for service to the Army Cadet Force is typically a volunteer
# instructor, not a soldier; grouping them with the corps they are affiliated
# to reads as military service, which for most of them it is not.
#
# The affiliated force is recorded per concept with skos:related, so a reader
# who wants "everything connected to the RAF" can follow it deliberately -
# rather than having the affiliation asserted as the person's own service.
