We are a group of young men and adults dedicated to military history and the restoration, preservation, and operation of military vehicles. Our unit began as Venture Crew 30, Boy Scouts of America, in March 2001. We were the first re-enacting Boy Scout group in the US and since our focus is so unique and innovative, our first application for chartering had to go all the way to the national office for approval. We remained Crew 30 for two years, but when we stopped portraying the 30^th Infantry Division and started portraying the 82^nd Airborne Division, we needed a new crew number that would allow some flexibility for different portrayals. We came up with the number 4145 to commemorate the start and end of US involvement in World War II. In February 2011 we decided it was time to part from the Boy Scouts and go our own direction with the group. We came up with Historical Cadet Corps, a unit modeled after military schools and the military itself. Since this hobby is somewhat dangerous by nature we are very strict and disciplined in order to keep cadets safe. The first thing cadets learn is how to safely handle firearms. They also learn military courtesy, Drill and Ceremony, and how to keep a clean look with their uniforms.

                We currently portray B company of the 6^th armored division, 9^th armored infantry battalion. At reenactments cadets experience everything from camping in a World War II tent to simulated battle.

               During the school year we meet the first Thursday of every month at the VFW Post 1970 on Charlotte Pike in Nashville. We are led by Darrell Fisher Captain of HCC and Lieutenant Steven Thomas HCC Executive Officer. At meetings we learn things like Drill and Ceremony, Military Courtesy, Firearm Safety, and restoration, maintenance, and operation of military vehicles.

                As often as possible, we help our sponsor organization by doing things like displaying our vehicles and working on theirs. In addition to regular meetings, we often attend car shows and static displays with our vehicles around the middle Tennessee region. We often take trips to military history museums and local historical sites. We also participate in WWII re-enactments and drive our military vehicles.

                Other than WWII Re-enactments our group also participates in events like Air-soft Wars, Paintball Wars, and riding dirt bikes. As with the re-enacting we are very strict when it comes to these events for the safety of all our people.

                All of our licensed/permitted members get driver training on many of our vehicles. Once they become qualified to drive them we let them drive them in parades, to car shows, or even just to lunch.

                Every Memorial Day in May we place flags on the graves of veterans at the Tennessee Veterans Cemetery and set up a static display during their ceremonies.

                We are proud to honor our veterans from every era, and to listen as well as apply their stories to our Corps.
