Recruitment and Restrictions
21. Sponsored Reservists will be required to enlist
in an unit nominated by the MoD and will not be able to volunteer
for duties such as high readiness reserve or, without prior consent
from his employer, full time reserve service.[75]
The MoD argue that this is to ensure that employers are able to
honour their contractual obligations to the MoD, and that the
MoD receive the support functions they require.[76]
The age limits for Sponsored Reserves will be 17 years (18 for
a commissioned officer) to 55 years[77]
and the maximum period of notice for release from the Sponsored
Reserves is 3 months.[78]
