THE NATIONAL RESERVE MARCHES ON

Annual Camp

By law, annually, the National Reserves are required to undergo two weeks of continuous training (Annual Camp), which usually takes place in the last two weeks of July. This year, for the first time in the history of 3JR (NR), Annual Camp will run for the entire month of July.

Potential Officer Course

Once a Potential Officer has successfully completed basic military training the candidate will then be enrolled in a Potential Officer course, which will last for one year. The objectives of this course are as follows:

1. To develop commanders with courage and will power, with a temperament for decisive actions in difficult circumstances.
2. To foster attitudes of integrity, selflessness and loyalty.
3. To teach candidates how to think and communicate as commanders.
4. To encourage the analysis of strategic and war studies as a foundation for military thought and wisdom.
5. To train candidates in the basic skills and battlefield disciplines of soldiering.

At annual camp 2004, 3JR (NR) commenced a Potential Officer course for nine Potential Officers. There are presently seven persons left on the course that is expected to end at annual camp 2005. Those successful in the course will be recommended for commission.

There are thirteen Potential Officers who will commence training at annual camp 2005.
