Loughborough’s only Army Reserve unit is hosting an open evening on Tuesday, 30th January as it looks to welcome new heavy goods drivers, chefs, medics, clerks and officers for 2024.
Reservists serve in their spare time and play a critical role in national defence and security, from countering threats, peacekeeping, and humanitarian efforts abroad, to supporting communities and national resilience at home.
Reservists within 203 (Loughborough) Transport Squadron are taught to drive a wide range of vehicles, such as 15-tonne trucks and enhanced palletized loading systems, on and off-road.
The Squadron is part of 159 Regiment Royal Logistic Corps and provides the British Army with a heavy lift capability in peace or in times of conflict, transporting combat supplies whenever and wherever they are required.
Those aged 18-48 years old who meet the eligibility criteria and want to embark on new adventures, learn new skills, travel, and achieve more in their spare time, all while being paid, are encouraged to find out more.
