Notes:
For service pre 7 Dec 1972 members are covered under SRCA (and its predecessors) for Peacetime Service and the VEA for Operational and Peacekeeping Service. There was no provision for Hazardous Service. ^In 1997 the VEA introduced the new classifications of warlike and non-warlike service, which replaced operational, hazardous and peacekeeping serv — i — ce for prospective declarations. These classifications remain under the MRCA. *Reservists are covered under the SRCA (or its predecessors) or MRCA depending on their dates of service. Reservists who convert to CFTS will be covered under the relevant secti — o — n above depending on their type of service (eg. Non-warlike) for that period.
