Summary
"This Strategy and Guidance has been developed to enable forces to realise the
benefits and opportunities for pre-join options set out herein, and presents a
framework of schemes that allows transferability of awards across and between
forces and providers wherever the learning takes place.
The purpose of this strategy is therefore to provide a range of inter-related and
flexible pre-join options that meet the operational needs of Forces, the
community and provide high quality recruits and support Forces in implementing
pre-join programmes." -- Page 4.
