The final exercise, in the conventional setting where Officer Cadets are tested in all four phases of war “Ex Frozen Trout” is one of the major field exercises in the cadet curriculum conducted in the general area Ambewela. The Officer Cadets practically exercised planning and sending recce/fighting patrols in order to gather intelligence, laying ambushes, launching and repulsing counter attacks under extreme weather conditions.
