21
Volunteer estate of 2,500 dispersed sites is critical infrastructure for cadets and reserves.
Recommendation
Stewardship of the volunteer estate is one of the RFCAs’ core activities. The volunteer estate, which provides the essential infrastructure that the cadets and reserves need to operate, is made up of around 2,500 sites which are widely dispersed around the UK and range from cadet huts to multipurpose reserve centres. The reserve training sites are the basis for training and mobilising the reserves, while accommodation for cadet units provides an important nationwide presence.31
