The RTMC prepares all branches of the Reserve Forces and Civilians for Service with the Regular Forces, in addition to Regular Individual Reinforcements. This can range from the deployment into an operational theatre or commitment for a peace time attachment.

As well as being the organisation that helps prepare reservists for active service the RTMC have a part to play in welcoming the troops back into the UK and helping them return to their civilian lives, a process that also includes mental health welfare.

RTMC also trains civilians - mainly MOD Civil Servants - who are deploying or visiting an operational theatre. Training spans 3 days and covers many different aspects of life in theatre as well as current advice and information on health, safety and security. It includes a fitness assessment, first aid training (based on battlefield casualty drills and involving participation in casualty simulations), cultural briefs and a talk given by a civilian who has recently been in theatre. This also covers the welfare package available to civilians before, during and after their tour/visit. We also ensure that each civilian receives and tests the correct Personal Protective Equipment required. Prior to attending all civilians must undergo a medical and dental examination to ensure full fitness and updating of relevant vaccinations. In the main these are also carried out at RTMC.
