الكادارات

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hi everyone,

This is from a North African text.

It's in the context of the military. Does it mean cadets?

أعدّ "الكادارات" التي كانت ترغمني على الالتصاق بالتراب. الألم يكاد يقسم ظهري، كم كان العدد؟ ربما خمسين كادارا على الأقل.

Thanks!

Challenge This is a challenging word indeed, I couldn’t find any possible source.
I think it’s an adapted transliteration of some French word but couldn’t find it neither.
