Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Association
The Volunteer Reserve Forces are an essential part of the British Armed Forces, providing more than 50,000 men and women to the Reserves of the Royal Navy, Army, Royal Air Force and Royal Marines, and in many areas are the only visible face of the Armed Forces.
Many reservists have joined directly from the civilian community with no prior military experience and often combine a military role with a civilian career. They give up their time to train to work alongside the Regular Forces on exercise and on operations. Reservists also have the opportunity to take part in adventurous training – often abroad. Being a reservist provides the opportunity to gain new skills which can often be very beneficial in their civilian careers, in addition to great social opportunities.
There are over 3,000 men and women in the Reserves in Yorkshire and the Humber in 45 Reserve units. You can find your nearest unit here.
CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE RESERVES CAN BE AWARDED UP TO £200 IF THEY RECRUIT A COLLEAGUE AND IF THAT PERSON IS SUCCESSFUL IN PASSING THEIR BASIC TRAINING - DOWNLOAD OUR 200 CLUB PDF FOR MORE DETAILS.
