Pipes and Drums

Officer Training Corps[edit]

Many British Universities also have Officer Training Corps units, which allow students to experience military life. University Officer Training Corps (UOTCs) still officially form part of the Army Reserve. However, the officer cadets fall into reserve category "B", meaning that they cannot be called up for service unless there is a national emergency.

In 2011, an MoD study recommended the downgrading of UOTCs to sub-units (commanded by a Major rather than a Lt Col) and the formation of 12 Officer Training Regiments comprising one or two OTC 'companies' and an TA (as it was then known) Officer Training Wing. The study also concluded that UOTC OCdts should not be attested or paid in their first year.[4]
