To quote the annual report:
A total of 15,066 man-days were utilised during 2021 by 729* RDF members.
* A number of reservists completed standard training and COVID-19 duty and/or RDFRA related days. Duplicate names have been removed from the total number.
A total of 15,066 man-days were utilised during 2021 by 729* RDF members.
This can be subdivided further as detailed in Table 2.5 below:
692 personnel completed 13,365 standard training days in pursuit of professional development through career courses, continuous professional development seminars and participation in integrated exercises as part of the Single Force concept;
89 personnel completed 1,025 deployed COVID-19 duty days;
and 105 personnel completed 676 RDFRA-related days
how the fk can 105 pers do 676 RDFRA days literally wtf
89 pers on COVID dutiies is fine but the fact remains only 692 pers did regular training that was paid. And yes, we were coming out of a pandemic .Last edited by trellheim; 8 August 2022, 10:46."Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "

ADC meeting, Bde/formation meetings, NEC meetings etc etc

in person training was only really allowed from May I think it was
really FTT was only really allowed from August
tbh I’m surprised the figure is so high
i don’t disagree that it’s a low figure 729 personnel did at least 1 manday out of a strength of 1,489 (49%)

Originally posted by batterysgt View PostRecruitment numbers seem to RDF very recently seem to be poor. I thought that RDF were supposed to be running the campaigns, so why have the PDF not given over the reins. They have no interest in rdf recruitment. We need rdf to fully run the rdf recruitment campaigns
"Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

Total Bluff job and could have serious repercussions yet."Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home.

WHAT
The recruitment portal has just been closed to allow us to process the huge backlog that is there. Without medicals its not going to move forward as everyone knew the bottleneck would be and letting more in will just be a crap experience . All procedures where I am are being followed as the last thing I want to do is lose people because Bde chuck it back . Currently there is zero problem with process and only one bottleneck - medicals. Other formations may be different but thats what its like in my neck of the woods. PDF medicals take priority so as the man said in the deli "take a number and wait"
Most of you know where I serve. I'm looking at a list of highly qualified people who've applied to join , exers as well and we just want to bring them in and get them producing but I cant fix the bottleneck. But what do you tell them after 6 months waiting for a medical ? ( even if you do the GP thing you STILL NEED An ARMY MEDICAL to enlist )Last edited by trellheim; 13 August 2022, 21:14."Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
