18.4 Reserve Members and Sport/Fitness
Under the current Army Individual Readiness criteria, Reservists are required to meet the same fitness standards as those of the Permanent Forces. Accordingly, the same connection to employment eligibility criteria can be applied to these members.
This means that reservists must also have their civilian sporting activities approved and authorised under unit Routine Orders before any injuries arising from the activities can be regarded as compensable.
