Canadian Army Cadets Mock Tower Jump Wing

The Canadian Army Cadets Mock Tower Jump Wing is an insignia awarded within the Royal Canadian Army Cadets program. This badge is presented to cadets who have successfully completed the mock tower jump, a simulated parachute training exercise designed to introduce participants to parachuting techniques and equipment. The wing typically features a parachute motif between outstretched wings, representing the airborne training component. Constructed from embroidered fabric, the badge is designed for wear on the cadet uniform, sewn onto the sleeve or chest area as specified by the organization’s uniform regulations. Unlike wings awarded for actual military parachute qualification, the mock tower jump wing serves to recognize participation in preliminary airborne training rather than operational jumps. Its issuance is limited to youth cadets and is distinct from similar badges used in the regular Canadian Armed Forces. This insignia reflects the emphasis on leadership, teamwork, and physical skill development within the Army Cadets program.
