Potential Officer Direct Entry Attachment London UOTC (incl. Canterbury Detachment)

Introduction:

Potential Officers (OCdts and Other Ranks looking at Direct Entry Army Reserve Commissioning) are invited to apply for an attachment to ULOTC Charlie Company (Senior Division) in order to integrate into the advanced (third year) component of the Army University Leadership Development Programme. This will enable applicants to develop their Command and Control ability in the field prior to attending RMAS for CCS. Historically this was provided by ULOTC Haldane Company but will now no longer be a separate element allowing applicants to be part of a larger exercising contingent.

Unit Role:

University of London Officers Training Corps (ULOTC) is to develop the leadership potential of selected students and Army Reserve potential officers and to promote the Armys ethos and career opportunities in order to secure commitment to the Army first as officers but also as future leaders in their chosen profession who will champion the Army in society.

RSDs:

An equivalent assignment would be associated with 35 - 60 as standard (RSDs/STs are usually available for certain additional taskings) but this must be decided and agreed by your parent unit as they will still be providing RSDs.

Routine:

Parade Tuesday evening during University term time (1745-2100 approx) - new training year starts Sept/Oct. Approx 7 Green Weekends; a summer Annual Deployment Exercise; as well as various Special to Arm visits and Leadership events. Ample opportunity to lead and/or support additional activity such as AT Battlefield Tours development training.
