The Royal Marines Reserve (RMR), together with the Royal Naval Reserves, form the Maritime Reserves. The RMR are currently recruiting for volunteers to complete the Commando Course, earn the coveted Green Beret and then serve in support of the Regular Royal Marines Corps. All Reservists who successfully complete the demanding training package will be offered a rewarding and exciting career, along
with the opportunity to serve on frontline amphibious operations worldwide
As a Royal Marines Reservist, you'll be one of about 600 people who combine their civilian day jobs with serving part-time as fully-trained Commandos. Most have no previous military experience. What we have in common is that we're all volunteers. Like the regular Royal Marines Commandos, you'll be trained to operate in any location, environment and terrain. We're specialists in mountain and extreme cold-weather warfare, trained in climbing, skiing and mountaineering. As a Reservist, you'll complete exactly the same rigorous commando course as the regular Royal Marines. We do not make allowances and there are no favours given. As a result though, you'll be able to do the same job to the same standard. The proof is that roughly 10% of the Royal Marines Reserve are currently serving on long-term attachments in regular Royal Marine units.
