Royal Naval Reserve

The Royal Naval Reserve (RNR) is a part-time force of trained volunteers who support the Royal Navy. It consists of civilians who live and work elsewhere but offer their skills and expertise to the navy when needed. RNR members participate in training, exercises, and may be called upon during emergencies or military operations. They play a valuable role in maritime security, disaster relief, and humanitarian efforts. By integrating civilian professionals, the RNR enhances the navy's capabilities while allowing individuals to contribute to national defense alongside their civilian careers.
