FTRS provides a flexible way for ex-Regular and TA officers and soldiers to serve with the Regular Army.  The army is looking for people who are qualified members of the TA and regular reserve.  If you fit the bill then we can offer you a number of job opportunities.  Posts are varied, and may be for between 6 and 42 months, with most posts attracting comparable regular rates of pay. 

 Following a review of FTRS by the Establishment Committee of the Army Board(ECAB) on 12 September 2003, very few FTRS(Full Commitment) appointments will be offered for the remainder of this financial year.  This severe restriction will be kept under constant review and any changes will be notified as soon as possible.  There are much reduced opportunities to serve on FTRS(Limited Commitment) and FTRS (Home Commitment) and details of these appointments are listed below in the Search for Opportunites area of reserve information. 

 To download an application form please see How to Apply.  For more information please see FAQ (frequently asked questions).

To the challenge of serving alongside the regulars on operations. Mobilised service offers the chance for qualified TA and ex-Regulars who volunteer to deploy on operations worldwide.  Tours are from 6 months, and the package includes a mobilisation bounty and job protection measures for those who have their bosses' agreement.  

All mobilised reservists go through the RTMC at Chilwell, Nottingham for processing or to refresh their skills prior to deployment.  From May this year they will also be processing FTRS, take a look at their site if you want to know more.  If you have any questions, you may telephone the RTMC on 0800 028 5533 or email RTMC@gtnet.gov.uk 

Ex-regulars are also often valued for their knowledge and experience by TA units.  If you would welcome a chance to return to the military family, but on a part-time basis that allows you to continue your civilian career or studies, you can find details here.
