loyalty and service the officer Cadet school portsea
neville lindsay
The need for adequate training for Australia's permanent officer corps was the subject of wide consensus from the mid 1880s, but practicalities precluded consummation of this goal until the expansion under Universal Service brought establishment of the Royal Military College Duntroon.
The Officer Cadet School Portsea, with an initial six month course, was the solution to bridge a critical deficiency in regimental officers. But the ongoing expansion of the Regular Army, and its widening commitments in South East Asia, created a longer term demand which outlived the National Service requirement: an expansion of the horizons of Portsea's graduates as an integral part of the career officer mainstream led to extension of the course to match that of Duntroon without the latter's tertiary content.
