You periodically feature article in CM about the Army and itS transport vehicles and I an' writing to ask if you might be able to assist the sponsored (oi specialist) transport and move. ment units of the Royal Corps ol Transport, Territorial Army Volunteer Reserve, in publicising their existence and in doing so, to stimulate our rate of recruiting.
Your journal caters for thE interests of many of the people we have in our regiment already, both men and women, but more particularly for those engaged in the planning, operation and maintenance ol civilian freight and passenger transport.
With the rundown in the regular Army, it has to rely increasingly upon assistance from the TAVR for its manpower on exercises and routine commitments in many parts of the world as well as for reinforcement in times of emergency.
The sponsored units are located at one centralised United Kingdom headquarters in peacetime and do not have the local connections which the independent TAVR units have in their drill halls. Asa result, many people are unaware that the TAVR exists still and although we are able to maintain our numbers, we have a substantial number of vacancies and an urgent need to fill them if we are to meet our commitments.
