The Royal Naval Reserve, together with the Royal Marines Reserve, form the Maritime Reserves
The Royal Naval Reserve’s involvement in protecting our nation’s interests ranges from conflict operations, to counter-terrorism and anti-piracy work. As a Reservist, you’ll also have a role to play in providing security at sea and humanitarian assistance across the globe. As part of the whole force you’ll be indistinguishable from your Royal Navy counterparts.
