RNR (Royal Naval Reserve)

The Royal Naval Reserve (RNR) is the volunteer branch of the UK's Royal Navy, composed of civilians who train part-time to support naval operations. Members retain their civilian careers but can be called upon to assist with maritime security, defense, or national emergencies when needed. RNR personnel undergo military training to maintain readiness, discipline, and skills relevant to naval warfare and support roles. They enhance the UK's maritime capabilities without being full-time sailors, offering flexibility and expertise that complement the regular Navy personnel.
