The Jersey Field Squadron is holding a week of events to encourage Islanders to become reservists.
At events this week, Islanders are being told that the Army Reserves offers young men and women the opportunity to get fit, gain professional qualifications and experience something completely different to everyday life.
The campaign coincides with Operation Fortify, the Territorial Army's national drive to increase its personnel to 30,000 by 2020.

During the week, the Jersey Field Squadron will be running a series of events:
- recruiting stands in St Helier at West Centre, the Cenotaph, King Street and in the Royal Square
- free gym sessions every day from 12.15pm to 1.45pm at Fort Regent
