SUMMARY:Reserves Day
DESCRIPTION:Reserves Day – Wednesday 24th June 2020\nReservists give up their spare time to serve in the Reserve Forces\, balancing their civilian life with a military career to ensure that should their country require them\, they would be ready to serve as part of the regular military. \nThe Reserve Forces make up approximately one sixth of our Armed Forces personnel and are key to protecting the nation’s security at home and overseas. However\, the contribution they make to our Armed Forces often goes unrecognised.  Reserves Day was created to highlight and recognise the valuable contribution Reservists make to our Armed Forces. \nFind out more about the day and how you can take part our our webpage.
