Regional or National?

There are two types of Territorial Unit – Regional and National. Regional Units train on week nights and some weekends and recruit from the local area. You don’t need specific skills to join as you get all the training you need. National Units tend to be more specialised and recruit people with relevant experience from all over the country. Because members travel further to get to training, they don’t train on week nights.
