Reserves Day was very different and great fun. I enjoyed a day of online engagements with fellow reservists from each of the Services to celebrate who we are. As the day ends I simply want to say thank you fellow reservists for what you do and why. 👍 #ReservesDay #WholeForce

The men & women of the @RNReserve are an integral part of the @RoyalNavy, bringing specialist skills & a unique perspective to the service.
Thank you to those who give up their spare time to serve, balancing a civilian life with a military career.

2020 - an extraordinary year for us as we fight a new national threat. The NHS is on the front line and the Armed Forces are in support. There are almost 40,000 reservists in the Armed Forces making them even more versatile and effective. A day to reflect and be proud. I am.

It took a lot of effort by a fantastic team of Maritime Reservists to get these RHiBs to the RNR and it’s great to see them being delivered to CALLIOPE, CAMBRIA and EAGLET. The RNR is back on the water at Unit level and with the Fleet. BZ. @RNReserve

Thank you employers for releasing your people to fulfil roles in Defence as the Nation responds to COVID-19. Your support is invaluable. Thank you also DRM for maintaining the critical comms link between employers and Defence. It’s one huge team effort. 👍

Reserves Top Tip #6. We won’t defeat COVID-19 overnight and those Reservists on the front line today can’t stay there indefinitely. Reservists, tell your UESO or MOBO what specialist skills you have, what you can do and when? Knowledge gathered now will allow us to plan ahead.
