Each year, the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) conducts an initial military training period, known as Year One Familiarisation training (YOFT). This initial six week training program introduces first year ADFA midshipmen and officer cadets to military life.
Trainee officers undertake a varied training program during YOFT, including leadership development, physical training, adventure training, drill and ceremonial procedures, military law, weapons handling and field craft.
