TA Reservist Soldier in Basic Training

A Territorial Army reservist soldier(front) is pictured being trained by a regular soldier at the TA Recruit Centre in Ballykinler, Northern Ireland.

 

The Recruit Training Centre in Ballykinler, Northern Ireland (NI) is the setting as a new batch of Territorial Army (T.A) recruits who are being put through their paces on Exercise Shamrock Challenge. Specifically designed as Basic Training for NI Based T.A recruits, it will teach them skills to use during their careers within the T.A.

 

The training being given is being taught by Regular and T.A soldiers, seasoned NCOs of The Army Training Regiment Pirbright and hosts a mix of cap badges. The Recruits are following the same procedures as their full time counterpart’s all-be-it in a shorter timeframe.

 

They are taught a mandatory syllabus on a host of military topics and are working towards a final Pass Off Parade much like regular soldiers at the end of Basic Training.
