Regulation 19 Savings

Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), these Regulations shall not affect the terms of service (either as respects duration or as respects liability to serve in the reserve) of any person in regular army service immediately before the commencement of these Regulations.

A person in regular army service immediately before the commencement of these Regulations may be selected, irrespective of the length of service he has already completed, for further service in the regular army for a term of equal duration to that of a person enlisted on a versatile engagement whose service is extended under regulation 5(3), (5) or (7).

A person who is selected for further service under paragraph (2) will be notified in writing by the competent military authority and he may exercise the option to undertake such further service by giving notice in writing to the competent military authority specifying the additional term of service he wishes to undertake and, upon receipt of the notice by the competent military authority, he shall be treated as if he had enlisted for a term which expires at the end of the additional term on a versatile engagement.
