Army Cadet Force
Licensed Victuallers' School also temporarily houses an Army Cadet Force (ACF) unit: 4 Platoon (Irish Guards) Ascot of the Royal County of Berkshire ACF. Although the unit is not permanently based at Licensed Victuallers', it has established itself in the school and now recruits from the school, as well as the local and surrounding area. The cadet unit is mostly made up of Licensed Victuallers' pupils, but also includes cadets from Ascot and other nearby towns and villages.

Famous quotes containing the words army and/or force:
“Man is the end of nature; nothing so easily organizes itself in every part of the universe as he; no moss, no lichen is so easily born; and he takes along with him and puts out from himself the whole apparatus of society and condition extempore, as an army encamps in a desert, and where all was just now blowing sand, creates a white city in an hour, a government, a market, a place for feasting, for conversation, and for love.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“March indefatigably on,
And for the last effect
Still keep thy Sword erect:
Besides the force it has to fright
The Spirits of the shady Night;
The same Arts that did gain
A Pow’r must it maintain.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
