An Army Training Unit provides training for the Army Reserve of the British Army.

History

Originally, Regional Training Centres were created from the previously existing Specialist Training Teams to provide training for the United Kingdom Territorial Army (TA). They are administered as part of the local Regional Brigade in that area.[1] From mid-2012 they were renamed Army Training Units as the Territorial Army was rebranded as the Army Reserve.

Army Training Units provide initial recruit training for all Army Reserve soldiers, except those joining 4 PARA, SAS(R) units and the Honourable Artillery Company, who are trained within their own units.[2][3][4]

In conjunction with the Officers' Training Corps, Army Training Units deliver training to potential officers through Modules 2, 3 and 5. Module 4 is conducted at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and forms the Army Reserve Commissioning Course.[5] They also continue the role of the Specialist Training Teams in providing courses to qualify Reserve personnel in Range Management and Marksmanship Coaching, Battlefield Casualty Drills, Defence Instructional Techniques, HAZMAT and CBRN skills.[6]
