Closed Create a “National Veteran Volunteer Force” (NVVF)

Closed on

1. To consider the viability of Ex Regular service veterans volunteering to provide a “National Veteran Volunteer Force” (NVVF) for use in times of a National emergency.

2. To assist Police and Services when deemed necessary. Veterans are well trained, relatively fit, loyal and with checkable service records/references.

3. The proposal is to attract many "volunteer" veterans up to the age of 65 years, as their skills appear to be a valuable resource going to waste.
