Hello, It all depends on what you want to do as a reserve soldier. From a Royal Military Police perspective, we have a number of serving police officers and support staff who make up the ranks of our national reserve units of the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps Military Police Battalion (ARRC MPBn) and Special Investigation Branch Regiment. A few years ago I had the pleasure of working with the ARRC MPBn and one of their "junior" soldiers turned out to be someone quite senior in the, as it was then, Serious Organised Crime Agency. This gives the soldiers of our national reserve units a unique perspective as often their ability and knowledge is masked by their military rank. If that is what you are looking for, call 0345 600 8080 and speak to the reserves desk. If not, and you want something different, have a look at https://apply.army.mod.uk/what-we-offer/reserve-soldier/army-reserve-units where there is a list of the Natonal Reserve Units.
