Regulation 2 Application of these Regulations to armed forces bodies

These Regulations apply to serving members of the armed forces bodies as if they were employed by those bodies.

For the purposes of paragraph (1) a member of a reserve force is to be treated as a serving member of the armed forces body which that reserve force supports, and for this purpose “reserve force” is to be construed in accordance with section 374 of the Armed Forces Act 2006^f1.

Where the sole or main role of a medical practitioner employed by the Ministry of Defence is to work in support of any of the armed forces bodies, for the purposes of these Regulations that medical practitioner shall be treated as employed by that body.
