Joining the Reserve Forces

The Volunteer Reserves are the British Armed Forces voluntary and part-time military reserve force. The Volunteer Reserves consists of civilian volunteers who routinely undergo training and military operations alongside the Regular military. The Volunteer Reserves serve under a fixed-term reserve contract and provide "highly trained" military personnel integrated with their Regular counterparts, on operations both at home and overseas. Members of the Reserve Forces are paid for the time they give to their military duties and are paid an annual bounty when they complete their yearly commitment.
