The aim of the Army Reserve Recruit Course (ARRC) Pre-course is to prepare recruits for the ARRC, by giving them an insight into what will be required of them at the Army Recruit Training Centre. The training has been designed to provide recruits with a basic understanding of the organisation of the Army, conduct of training at ARTC, history of the Army and physical preparation requirements.

Outline The Reserve Recruit Training Course is physically challenging and mentally demanding. You will be required to work hard for up to seven days a week with little time available for recreation. You will learn and develop many new skills during your training. Some trainees find the change to a military lifestyle difficult, but most satisfactorily make the transition and go on to complete their training. You should be aware that when you enlist, you have voluntarily signed a contract to serve in the Australian Army. Once enlisted, you will be subject to military discipline. On arrival at ARTC, staff members from the 1st Recruit Training Battalion will meet you and brief you on the requirements of military discipline.
Recruit Training
Recruit training is the same for male and female entrants. During the four-week Reserve Recruit Training Course you will be required to take part in physical training, weapon handling and shooting, first aid, drill and field craft. The majority of your time will be spent in barracks receiving theory and practical instruction. You will learn how to wear your uniform correctly, and maintain your personal equipment and room to the standard required by the Army. The training is deliberately challenging and has been designed to prepare you to be a soldier in today's Army. The training is intense, with limited time for personal administration. Recruits gain a sense of achievement, purpose and confidence during basic training, and on completion of the course feel justifiably proud of what they have achieved. To mark the completion of the Reserve Recruit Training Course, you will take part in a ceremonial parade. Visitors are invited to view this parade which takes place at 10.00 am on the last day of the course. Shortly after commencing your Recruit Course, your nominated family will receive an information package outlining details of your march out parade; included in this package will be an accommodation guide to assist in planning their visit. A luncheon is held for you and your family after the march-out parade. Soldiers who successfully complete the course will return home on the day following the march-out parade or alternatively, you may return home with your family after the parade and luncheon. Travel arrangements will be advised to you during the Reserve Recruit Training Course.
