Summary

The Ministry of Defence employs over 50,000 Civil Servants. Within that, the Army employs around 7,000 MOD Civil Servants located at over 300 locations. Ours is a diverse workforce, with roles ranging from trainers, human resources, teachers, and psychologists to storekeepers, financiers, project and programme managers, and policy secretariat staff. There are many different functions and professions delivering key outputs for the Army.

The Infantry Training Centre (ITC) based in Catterick Garrison, delivers Infantry basic training and initial trade training. The ITC consists of three units; 1st and 2nd Infantry Training Battalions and a Headquarters Battalion all collocated along with Headquarters Soldier Academy (North). The 1st and 2nd Battalions undertake the Combat Infantry Course for all recruits, who wish to join the Infantry whether regular or reserve. In addition, we have the Army School of Ceremonial, and the Army School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming (based in Edinburgh).

We deliver training which covers everything from developing a civilian arriving with no military experience into a trained, confident Infantry soldier, to teaching people to play the Bagpipes. Whilst military training is undertaken by highly skilled and experienced members of the Army, they are supported by almost 200 Ministry of Defence Civil Servants along with a number of Defence contractors, in roles from drivers to HR Clerks and storekeepers to tutors!
