Reporting for service
On arrival at the Mobilisation Centre specified in the call-out pack, the Reservist undertakes a number of tests before being accepted into service including medical and dental examinations.
The Reservist will undertake pre-deployment training once he or she has been accepted into service.
Pre-deployment training includes:
- administration (covering pay, kit and equipment, welfare and medical)
- refresher training (low-level training)
- training specific to the theatre of operation
- training specific to the Reservist's function
Depending on the nature of the operation, this process can take up to four weeks.
Once the Reservist's post has been confirmed, he or she is then deployed to their unit.
