Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (Training Branch)

The Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (Training Branch), often abbreviated to RAFVR(T), is a Volunteer Reserve element of the Royal Air Force specifically appointed in a cadet training role within the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve. Members of the RAFVR(T) have no call-up liability and is now significantly smaller due to the introduction of the Cadet Forces Commission (see below). The commission is now exclusively used for members of the Air Experience Flights, which provide flight experience for the Royal Air Force Air Cadets, as their role requires them to fall under the Armed Forces Act.

In December 2017, the Air Force Board determined that RAFVR(T) ranks as part of the Royal Air Force Air Cadets would be removed, with the exception of the Officers of the Air Experience Flights. This was to make way for the introduction within all MOD-sponsored cadet forces of the Cadet Forces Commission (CFC), which was introduced in 2017 and restated in 2018.
