Agreement strengthens relationships with International friends
On 19 October 2007 a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Australia and the United Kingdom, ‘The Reserve Forces Foreign Service Arrangement’, was signed at the Reserves International Meeting held in Brisbane. A similar MOU between Australia and Canada was signed earlier in 2007.
These MOUs allow Reservists of one country, who temporarily reside in the other country on other than Defence business, to train with Defence forces of the other country.
The MOUs provide for a voluntary, individual arrangement, developed solely to meet the training needs of individual Reservists when they reside temporarily within a second nation in circumstances unrelated to Defence Force training or service.
The MOUs do not apply to attachments, loans, or exchanges of either Regular or Reserve Forces personnel, such as mutual exchanges or small unit exchanges, which will be governed by separate arrangements, as appropriate.
The MOUs allow approved individuals, both officers and other ranks, who are qualified to do particular tasks according to their home Service, to undergo training and be engaged in employment related to those tasks with the host Service. All training activities in the second country are subject to approval by their home Service and other conditions.
Outcomes from the MOUs, also, are to foster the development and maintenance of an active relationship between the national Reserve Forces.
