Royal Marines Reserve Scotland
About Royal Marines Reserve Scotland
Royal Marines Reserve (RMR) Scotland is one of four RMR Units. RMR Scotland's area of responsibility covers Scotland, North East England and Northern Ireland and is the largest RMR Unit.
Royal Marines Reserve Scotland Description
RMR Scotland:
RMR Scotland is sub-divided into six Detachments in order to enable Reservists to be drawn from the main areas of population within Scotland, North East England and Northern Ireland. The Headquarters is based in MOD Caledonia, Rosyth with the six Detachments located in Aberdeen, Belfast, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Tyne (Newcastle).
While maintaining all the infantry, amphibious, cold weather warfare and commando skills of the Royal Marines, RMR Scotland also specialises in assault engineering and has an amphibious raiding craft section based in Newcastle.
Over 140 ranks from RMR Scotland have served on operations in Iraq or Afghanistan since 2003.
The volunteers who make up the RMR are from varied backgrounds and are drawn from all walks of civilian or former military life.
The Royal Marines Reserve:
The Royal Marines Reserves act in support of the UK’s Amphibious Forces. All the volunteers within the RMR have passed through the Commando Course achieving the same exacting standards as their regular Royal Marines counterparts. RMR personnel may have joined as civilian recruits with no previous military experience, be former regular Royal Marines or have transferred from another regular or reserve service.
The RMR comprises 630 trained ranks distributed between four RMR Units across the UK. These Units are commanded from London, Bristol, Mersey and Scotland (inc North East England & Northern Ireland). Each Unit has several outlying detachments.
Approximately 10% of the RMR are currently employed on longer term attachments with regular Units from the Royal Marines or other specialist units.
Commando Training
RMR Basic Training and the Commando Course are not for the fainthearted. They require real commitment and determination and put great demands on recruits’ spare time and dedication. Over a period of 8 - 10 months, recruits are required to attend training at their RMR Unit one evening a week and usually two weekends a month. In addition they must work on their physical fitness in their own time.
To undergo and complete RMR Basic Training a recruit must remain self-motivated and dedicated, while balancing his RMR work with family life and civilian employment.
However, all that is good requires effort and it is the challenge of undergoing one of the toughest courses any Reservist can attempt that spur many on to join and, with the support of fellow recruits, colleagues, family and employers, to succeed. Winning the right to wear the coveted green beret as many before have done is a significant achievement and marks out the Royal Marines Reservist as a highly trained, committed and mentally tough soldier.

PRMC Nov 2018. Becoming a Royal Marines Commando is a STATE OF MIND. You may already have it.
The Potential Royal Marines Course, often abbreviated to PRMC, is the Royal Marines selection course for Potential Recruits. The course is held at MOD Caledonia Rosyth, and is designed to assess a candidate's suitability for entry into the Royal Marines Reserve, to begin training in 2019.
The Royal Marines are the UK's mountain and cold weather warfare experts. It is one of the most challenging and unpredictable of environment's.
