The Army Reserve, formerly known as the the Territorial Army, is a modern, highly trained Reserve force which has dedicated over a century of service to Queen and country.
Reservists are ordinary people, often with family and work commitments, who are prepared as Reservists to undertake extraordinary responsibilities when deployed alongside the Regulars on defensive, peacekeeping and humanitarian operations.
In the South West of England, the AR is represented by 2,000 dedicated men and women who give up their free time to train in a wide variety of roles, from infantry, tank crew and signallers to medics, parachute-trained artillery and engineers.
There are also opportunities in the Intelligence Corps, the Logistic Corps, Army Air Corps, even as Commandos and Special Forces.
