The Royal Marines Reserve is a key part of our overall ‘trained strength’. This 600-strong elite team demands you stay at the very top of your game at all times, meaning only the most dedicated last the course. In return, you'll get an exciting career that runs parallel to your everyday life.

Joining the Royal Marines Reserve means being a part-time soldier, but a fully trained Commando. You’ll do the same Commando course as everyone who wears the green beret, but you’ll spend evenings and weekends completing the same standards. It’s your opportunity to add a challenge to your everyday life, using your newly developed skills in operational environments, all over the world. As soon as you’re trained, you're deployable, which means going wherever you’re needed, from conflict zones to areas hit by humanitarian crisis.
