  • What Are the Perceptions of Phase 1 Military Instructors Regarding Their Role?
    What are the perceptions of Phase 1 Military Instructors regarding their role? Jamie Russell Webb-Fryer Master of Arts by Research University of York Education December 2015 Abstract The aim of this research was to investigate the perceptions of phase 1 military instructors regarding their role and perceived effectiveness in the delivery of teaching. It further examined, whether phase 1 instructors believe their current delivery methods and intuitional parameters allow them to provide a dynamic and less didactic learning experience. It, in addition, investigated their views and perceptions in to the military pre- employment instructional training and Continuous Professional Development (CPD) that they have been offered. The thesis followed a five chapter layout, firstly introducing and giving a detailed description into the manner in which military training is organised, then specifically analysing the organisation of military phase 1 training. The introduction further focused on the military instructor and how they integrate within the current military Army Instructor Functional Competency Framework. The literature review undertook a broad context of reading relevant to the subject. It explored other author’s views, opinions and facts in relation to the military instructor’s capability. The research methodology used in this thesis analysed the relationship and conceptual structure of the questionnaire and interview questions against specific quantitative and qualitative questions combining the overall research questions. Using different methodology of data collection for the research, the researcher hoped the data provided may point to certain themes within the findings and conclusions. 69 participants completed the paper questionnaire and 8 participants were interviewed. The findings of this research critically analysed the spectrum of perceptions from the military phase 1 instructor including both qualitative and quantitative data from the interviews and the questionnaires collection methods.

Are you seeking information regarding individuals who identify themselves as being Scottish regardless of where they live now, or people who currently have a Scottish address regardless of their background or country of origin? Please note that for the MOD Joint Personnel Administration, some of the nationality options an individual can record themselves as include ‘British’, ‘Scottish’ or ‘British Scottish’. I was mainly looking for those having joined the Army from a Scottish address as I’m looking at how many people located in Scotland join the Army. Further clarification is required concerning the second part of your request - please clarify if you want Corps and Infantry Regiment (In essence Cap badge) or Corps and Infantry totals. Please note that a proportion of those who joined the untrained strength in 2016 may still be in training. Yes please, looking for Cap Badge of entrants from Scotland should this information exist.

  • 20150210-FOI00908 74397 Marshall SRR Cap Badge Response
    Army Secretariat Army Headquarters IDL 24 Blenheim Building Marlborough Lines Andover Hampshire, SP11 8HJ United Kingdom Ref: Army Sec 74397/00908 E-mail: Army [email protected] Website: www.army.mod.uk Mr A Marshall 6 Larch Close Cambuslang Glasgow South Lanarkshire G72 7BL 10 February 2015 Dear Mr Marshall, Thank you for your letter of 22 January 2015 requesting the following information: “Whilst browsing a number of websites regarding the cap badge of the SRR, I have encountered different two answers. The first answer states that the sword represented on the cap badge is a depiction of Excalibur (the legendary sword of King Arthur), the second answer states the sword depicts the Sword of Damocles. I am curious to know which one is the correct answer, if either. Therefore, can you please provide me with a definitive answer regarding the SRR cap badge?” I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. A search for the information has now been completed within the Ministry of Defence, and I can confirm that information in scope of your request is held. The cap badge of the Special Reconnaissance Regiment (SRR) is described as “Argus helmet in front of the Special Forces sword with motto scroll ‘Reconnaissance’ underneath”. The Special Forces sword refers to that represented in the design of the Special Air Service Regiment badge though pointing upwards. Although the sword in the Special Air Service Regiment badge is often incorrectly referred to as the “winged dagger”, the original intent of the designer (reputedly Bob Tait) was a representation of King Arthur’s sword Excalibur.

Summary At various points throughout their history, towns such as Folkestone, Hythe and Lydd have played an important military role and become major garrison towns. Large numbers of soldiers, officers and military families have been accommodated in various barrack accommodation within camps such as Shorncliffe and Sandling, or billeted across the local towns and villages. Training grounds and ranges have developed which have served important purposes in the training of troops and officers for the war effort and in the defence of this country. Together they are an important collection of assets relating to the defensive heritage of the District and in many cases, continue to illustrate the historical role that many towns played when the district was again physically and symbolically placed on the front-line during times of war and unrest.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE 030/2012 22 March 2012 ARMED FORCES’ ROLE IN THE DIAMOND JUBILEE WEEKEND 2-5 JUNE 2012 The Ministry of Defence is pleased to announce details of the ceremonial Military personnel who will play a key role in the Central Weekend celebrations for Her Majesty The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, 2-5 June.

  • TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London
    TWICE A CITIZEN Celebrating a century of service by the Territorial Army in London www.TA100.co.uk The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London Twice a Citizen “Every Territorial is twice a citizen, once when he does his ordinary job and the second time when he dons his uniform and plays his part in defence.” This booklet has been produced as a souvenir of the celebrations for the Centenary of the Territorial Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, Army in London. It should be remembered that at the time of the formation of the Rifle Volunteers 1st Viscount Slim, KG, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, DSO, MC in 1859, there was no County of London, only the City. Surrey and Kent extended to the south bank of the Thames, Middlesex lay on the north bank and Essex bordered the City on the east. Consequently, units raised in what later became the County of London bore their old county names. Readers will learn that Londoners have much to be proud of in their long history of volunteer service to the nation in its hours of need. From the Boer War in South Africa and two World Wars to the various conflicts in more recent times in The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, London Volunteers and Territorials have stood together and fought alongside their Regular comrades. Some have won Britain’s highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross - and countless others have won gallantry awards and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country. This booklet may be recognised as a tribute to all London Territorials who have served in the past, to those who are currently serving and to those who will no doubt serve in the years to come.
