Army Recruitment
from:According to some sources UK army recruitment has dropped in recent months. There are those who attribute this to the war in Iraq and the troubles that both the US and the UK have been experiencing there. This means that recruiting more soldiers is becoming a priority in the UK. The UK army recruitment website is very comprehensive with links to all the information that would be army recruit might need – this includes not only application information but plenty of information on what they might expect if they are chosen to join the army.
The army recruitment and training division is split into a number of different groups which are used to ensure that army recruits are trained to the right standard for their particular place in the British army. There are a number of different units which specialize in the aspects of particular types of army training. The infantry training and development unit for example is aimed at inculcating the skills that a recruit would need for a place in the infantry. Within the infantry training and development unit there are a number of different cells or sub-divisions. These include a job and training analysis unit which is constantly updated to ensure that army recruitment and training of infantry soldiers has the most up-to-date jobs and training for that division – these include jobs specifications and training objectives.
The UK army recruitment site also has a psychological operations group which analyses the psychological tendencies and problems of existing and would be member of the army. The UK Special Forces division recruits existing soldiers who have the right kind of qualities for the job. Recruits for the Special Forces division need to be mentally and physically robust and an excellent swimmer. These soldiers have to deal with extreme situations often in extreme weather conditions so they must be in top form.
The UK army recruitment site is also there for the recruiting of army support staff – this might include drivers, mechanics, chefs, clerks, and intelligence personnel. This unit also includes the recruitment of special operations staff. Part of the British army’s move to recruit includes a special division for the welfare of soldier’s families. The army mission statement says that part of the recruitment of the type of soldier the army needs means that the welfare of these soldiers, and of their families, is paramount. Thus the army undertakes not only to care for the troops’ welfare and education, but also the education and welfare of their families. There is even a confidential support line for soldiers and their families who may be experiencing problems that are not actually part of the job.
