Encyclopedia > Army Training Regiment

An Army Training Regiment (ATR) is a unit of the British Army which conducts basic training for new recruits. The British Army is the land armed forces branch of the British Armed Forces. ...


All new recruits, whether Regular or Territorial Army, are required to pass the Common Military Standard (Recruits), commonly known as Phase 1. For regular recruits this is 14 weeks, for TA recruits this is 2 weeks. Not all TA recruits are trained at an ATR; for example, recruits for TA units of the Royal Military Police complete their CMS(R) at Worthy Down, near Winchester. In the United Kingdom the Territorial Army is a part of the British Army composed of reserve units, or part-time soldiers. ...

Winchester is a historic city in southern England, with a population of around 40,000 within a 3 mile radius of its centre. ...


Objectives

Phase 1 is a 14 week course, Recruits are expected to pass training objectives (TOs) in the following subjects:

  • TO 1: Fire the 5.56mm rifle
  • TO 2: Demonstrate aerobic fitness and muscular endurance
  • TO 3: Treat battlefield casualties
  • TO 4: Operate in a Nuclear, Biological and Chemical environment
  • TO 5: Employ basic fieldcraft skills
  • TO 6: Navigate across country
  • TO 7: Employ security measures
  • TO 8: Maintain personal health, hygiene and welfare
  • TO 9: Develop personal attributes vital to operations
  • TO 10: Display qualities of a British soldier
  • TO 11: Maintain personal finances
  • TO 12: Recognise the structure of the British Army
  • TO 13: Perform drill

Each of the TOs is of equal importance in terms of preparing the recruit for phase 2 training and future employment in the field army, but the overruling factor is TO 10, as, without these qualities, all else is irrelevant. The ATR looks at qualities which are bred into recruits as the "core values" of the British Army: L85A1 in use by C Company, 1 STAFFS, in a live firing exercise, during Operation GRANBY, 6 January 1991 As above SA80 (Small Arms for the 1980s) is a family of related arms that include the British Armed Forcess standard combat rifle. ...
