2370 Royal Canadian Army Cadets

The Corps was formed effective 30 December 1949 (CAO Supp 187/50) and designated as #2370 10th Medium Regiment RCA Cadet Corps. With the re organization of the Militia, the Corps was re designated #2370 10th Field Artillery Regiment Cadet Corps effective 1 December 1963.

2370 was first installed as a cadet corps im 1949. The corps started with only 12 cadets. It soon grew to a large number when the first shooting program established within the corps. The number of cadets grew and shrank over the years. Only three cadets from the 1960's are still with the military at the Regina Armouries; LCol. Tweten, Major W.P. Smith and Captain B. Shorten. 2370, in the early 1960's grew to over 45 cadets. In 1965, however this number was down to only 7 cadets. Then with much determination, team work, and a new Commanding Officer, the corps rebuilt itself. By the year end of 1966, we had over 40 cadets on parade. By the end of the second year we had over 60 cadets and never looked back again. The high point of our success came when we won the best corps in the three prairie provinces two years running and best core over 75 cadets in the province for 10 years.

Affiliated Unit - 10 Field Artillery Regiment

10th Field Artillery Regiment, RCA, (10 Fd Regt) is a Primary Reserve unit within 38 Canadian Brigade Group and is a part of 38 Canadian Brigade Group`s Artillery Tactical Group along with 26th Field Artillery Regiment, RCA, in Brandon, Manitoba, and 116th Independent Field Battery, RCA, in Kenora, Ontario. 

​This Reserve Force regiment originated on 3 July 1905.​

During WWI, the Regina battery of the Regiment acted as a recruiting depot for overseas service. The formation of the 5th Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery, occurred in 1914. One of the 5th Brigade’s batteries was reorganized into the 10th Field Brigade, with the 18th Field Battery remaining in Regina. In 1920, the unit was reorganized as 10th Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery, having as sub-units 77th Field Battery in Moose Jaw, and 18th Field Battery in Regina. Batteries from other cities in the province were added over the next two decades.

During WWII​, 10th Field Brigade was broken up and its batteries utilized in different areas. 18th Battery was sent to England, where it retrained as an anti-tank battery, joining the Canadian Anti-Tank Regiment in the 2nd Canadian Division in 1940; from 1942 to 1945, 18th Battery became part of the 2nd Anti-Tank Regiment which was part of the 5th Division. 77th Battery was mobilized with 3rd Field Regiment; 113th Battery (Regina) was mobilized with 4th Field Regiment; and 60th Battery (Aneroid) joined with 76th Battery (Indian Head) to form part of 17th Field Regiment.

Following the war, the batteries returned home and were reorganized into the 10th Medium Regiment, RCA. When 113rd Battery disbanded in 1956, 10th Medium Regiment comprised 18th Battery (Regina), 21st Battery (Saskatoon), and 44th Battery (Prince Albert). In the reorganization of the militia in 1961, the Regiment again converted to a Field Regiment, consisting of 18th Battery (Regina), 65th Battery (Grenfell), and a revived 76th Battery in Indian Head. Yorkton’s 64th Battery, formerly part of the 53rd Field Regiment, joined 10th Field Regiment in 1968, after 53rd Field Regiment and its batteries in Melville, Kamsack and Canora were disbanded. About the same time, 22nd Field Regiment, along No. 1 Hwy, was reduced to nil strength, and some of its batteries in Indian Head, Grenfell and Broadview were transferred to 10th Field Regiment. The current 10th Field Artillery Regiment consists of a regimental headquarters, as well as 18th Battery in Regina and 64th Battery in Yorkton. The unit also maintains a training affiliation with 26th Field Regiment in Manitoba and with 116th Independent Field Battery in Kenora, Ontario.
