This is what the work of the role holds.

The reserve system complements the regular army in emergencies. Human resources staff for the reserves connect the military mission with the civilians who serve as reservists.

In routine times, soldiers in the role support, develop, promote and train reservists. They also call reservists up for operational duty so they stay ready.

In an emergency, soldiers in the role recruit and summon reservists and make sure they report. They also receive them into their units and respond to the needs of reservists and their families during service.

This is how the training for the role runs.

Basic training at level 02, followed by a 4-week course at Training Base 11.
