RAF Volunteer Reserve

The RAF Volunteer Reserve (RAFVR) is a reserve component of the Royal Air Force, composed of civilians who volunteer part-time to support military operations. Members undergo training and can be called upon in emergencies or for specific missions, providing valuable skills and manpower without being full-time servicemen. The reserve allows the RAF to expand its capabilities quickly when needed, offering expertise in areas like air defense, logistics, engineering, and administration, while their primary careers remain outside the military. It’s a way for dedicated individuals to serve their country while maintaining civilian employment.
