Afternoon Arrse, very new here, so excuse the lack of terminology or correctness!
I'm preparing to join the reserves, specifically Royal Wessex Yeomanry, B squadron. You all probably know RWxY provide tank crew members to the regular regiments, my role most probably being a challenger 2 driver after traning. My question is, if war were to break out and the army were grabbing any one they could lay their hands on; would they deploy recruits not yet trained for their original roles as say, infantry or the like? I have no issue with deployment, as I'm joining the army at the end of the day! It's just a question my brother-in-law brought up. If I haven't been clear I do apologise, so if anyone doesn't follow just say!
Cheers chaps
( to any mods I've already posted this question accidentally in the reserve recruitment section, could that one be deleted! )
