The Transfer Process

Two DINs:

DIN 2012DIN01-018: Enlistment to the Territorial Army for serving and recently discharged ex-Regular soldiers: A process guide and incentives

And

DIN 2012DIN01-164: Process for joining the Territorial Army for serving Regular Officers or those having recently left

The Incentives

FIVE KEY INCENTIVES

•An annual training requirement reducing from 27 days to 15 days.

• A reduction in the number of MATTs to be completed annually.

• A reduced call-out liability (no call-out liability; aside for national emergencies).

• An annual tax free annual TA Bounty entitlement of up to £1674 (As at Jan 2013).

• Retention of their Regular substantive rank seniority (provided that they are appointed to a position in that rank in the TA)

Additional Help

Two ABNs have been published to clarify the DINs:

ABN 103/12: Seniority Of Serving And Ex-Regular Soldiers On Enlistment In The Territorial Army

And

ABN 110/12: Bounty Entitlement To Serving And Ex-Regular Soldiers On Enlistment In The Territorial Army
