Arthuristan Territorial and National Reserve System

The Arthuristan Territorial and National Reserve Systen provides the Commonwealth Army with personnel which would supplement the professional regular force in the event of a military crisis or civil emergency. It is comprised of two primary sources of personnel: former regulars who had been demobilised, as well as civilians who volunteer to participate in the nation's military on a part time basis.

Commitment

Reservists commit to a participating in a certain number of training days per year. On average, they train for one weekend per month, plus a two-week 'battle camp' per year.

Officers

The commissioned and senior non-commissioned officers of the reserve units are derived from two sources.

The first are ex-regulars who have served their initial contractual period with the Commonwealth Army, and who did not opt to re-enlist or renew their commissions. They remain on the reserve rolls on the ranks they held whilst on active service and may resume their previous status upon mobilisation.

A significant portion of the reserve units' subalterns come from the University Cadet Corps. Entrance is competitive and sought after, as it confers significant CV points which would benefit a student's later employment prospects. Those who are selected would be commissioned as junior officers after their graduation.

Reserve units

Reserve personnel form up to 14 combat brigade groups in the Commonewealth Army's order of battle, including two armoured divisions, as well as seven Territorial light infantry brigades. They also constitute a considerable proportion of the personnel in the army's strategic-level combat support and combat sustainment units.
