population consists of Group A Army Reserves, some Sponsored Reserves and those personnel
serving on Full Time Reserve Service contracts who were previously Army Reservists.</li><li>Those
who are Phase 2 trained can be deployed on exercises and operations or mobilised for
service overseas.</li><li>Those who have completed Phase 1 training can be mobilised
within the UK. However if required they could complete Phase 2 training as part of
their pre-deployment training and then be deployed overseas.</li><li>Before any individual
can be deployed or mobilised several checks, including health and welfare, have to
be completed and some individuals may not meet the criteria for that particular role.</li></ol><p>5.
Reserve Forces Act 1996 limits the period and frequency of when a reservist can be
mobilised. For example, Section 56; for any purpose, limits the period to up to 12
months and any service within the previous 36 months counts towards that period.</p><ol
