Middlesex and North West London ACF is the army cadet sector responsible for the management and administration of Army Cadet Force units in North-West London. The sector comprises of 1,100 cadets and CFAVs.[1] Middlesex and North-West London ACF is a registered charity in the UK.[2] Alongside City of London and North East Sector ACF, Greater London South East Sector ACF and Greater London South West Sector ACF, Middlesex and North West London ACF makes up the London District, an administrative unit used by the British Army and the ACF.[3]
Middlesex and North West London Sector is only responsible for the administration of Army Cadet Force (ACF) units, not Combined Cadet Force (Army) (CCF(A)) units, which are exclusively found in schools (disproportionately higher in public schools).[4]
Middlesex and North West London ACF is also affiliated with many livery companies. These include: The Worshipful Society of Apothecaries, The Worshipful Company of Pewterers, The Worshipful Company of Makers of Playing Cards and The Worshipful Company of Saddlers.[5]

History[edit]
While the Army Cadet Force as a whole was formed in 1859,[7] the sector was formed in 1942 as ‘Middlesex ACF’. By May 1942, it had grown to parade over 5000 cadets.[8] In 1968 it was renamed ‘North West Sector Greater London ACF’ and in 1982 it was renamed for a final time to “Middlesex and North West London Sector ACF”.
The sector regularly partakes in ceremonial events such as St Georges' Day Parades,[9] the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla and Remembrance Parades.
Structure[edit]
Although named a sector, as all cadet units in London are, it is the same size unit as a regular cadet county battalion.
Middlesex and North West London ACF is comprised of 4 companies (19 coy, 20 coy, 21 coy and 23 coy) and each company has approximately 7 detachments. Each detachment usually parades around 50 cadets.
