Training Requirements
Training commitments for Reservists are based on their employment and the requirements of the Service and category they join. Each Service requires a period of continuous Service from Reservists each year, generally a two-week period.
For Navy, the minimum training requirement each year is 20 days. Naval Reservists are usually able to serve up to 100 days a year. In the Army, it generally means undertaking two full weeks a year and one weekend per month. Most Reservists also attend one night a week. Army Reservists can work as few as 14 days a year to as many as 100 days. For Active Air Force Reservists, the minimum training requirement is 32 days per year and they can serve up to 130 days a year .
Reservists in each Service might also be required for extra attendance to complete promotion or professional development courses.
There is flexibility for people whose civilian occupations don't allow them to fully participate in the training requirements.
