Introduction

RMR London: Loosening up for PT

A Royal Marines Reserve is a commando-trained General Reserve contributing to a world class Navy: ready to fight and win. All RMR volunteers have passed through the same rigorous Commando Course as their regular Royal Marine counterparts.

Volunteers may be:

• civilians with no previous military experience;
• ex Territorial Army;
• former Royal Marines.

The volunteers who make up the RMR are from varied backgrounds and are drawn from all walks of civilian life. The RMR consists of approximately 600 trained ranks, which are distributed between the five RMR Centres within the UK.

About 10% of the RMR are working with the Regular Corps on long term attachments in all of their units.

The Mission of the Royal Marines Reserve

To act as a General Reserve to the Royal Marines Command and to promote a nationwide link between the military and civilian community. More specifically to:

• Reinforce the Royal Marines as and when required.
• Promote a nation-wide link between the Royal Marines and civilian communities.
• Provide a nationwide infrastructure for regeneration and reconstitution in times of national emergency.
