RESERVIST RIFLEMAN IN A NUTSHELL

The RIFLES will offer a place to any man willing to soldier as part of a team and who can meet the standards we set.
 
The RIFLES has vacancies for Reservist Riflemen as part of the Territorial Army and can offer a range of opportunities depending on where you live and which of our sub units you join. If you are up for it we can offer you a unique challenge and team spirit difficult to find elsewhere.

We ask quite a lot of our Riflemen but that’s because we set our sights high!

Our Offer

• Challenging military and adventurous training.
• Teamwork, comradeship and the chance to improve yourself.
• Army rates of pay for each period of training you attend.
• An annual tax free bounty of up to £1,500 if you maintain your skills and attendance to the required levels.
• The opportunity to deploy with Army Formations on operations overseas, if you reach the required standards.

What we ask of you - We ask you to attend for training and duties

• One night per week at your chosen RIFLES location
• One weekend per month training (and more if you want it); and 
• A two week training camp or specialist career/trade course each year.

We expect you to:

• Get fit and stay fit so that you can pass the Infantry Combat Fitness Test each year
• Become proficient and capable of passing an annual marksmanship test with the Rifle.

Once you are trained to the standard required you may be mobilised to join operations as an Infantry soldier for a period.
