Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve
TAVR

In April 1967, the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve (TAVR) replaced the old Territorial Army.

There was a major reduction in reserve forces in 1967 with the formation of the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve, and all existing yeomanry regiments were reduced to squadron, company or battery sub-units.

His commission was terminated in October 1975, when he transferred to the General List of the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve and was given seniority in his rank from 10 March 1975.

Between 1976 and 1980, he served as a Major in The Royal Hussars, Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve, and was Captain for British Airways Helicopters between 1976 and 1982.

Its original purpose was home defence, although the establishment of the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve in 1967 involved a restructuring and revised doctrine leading to the provision of routine support for the regular army overseas.

In July 1965 it became known that the reorganisation of the Territorial Army into the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve would entail the disbandment of 107 (Ulster) Brigade on 31 March 1967.

T&AVR: This was introduced when the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve was created and lasted from 1969 to 1982 after which the TERRITORIAL inscription was resumed.

He became Chief of the General Staff on 8 February 1965 and advised the British Government on the implementation of the 1966 Defence White Paper which, inter alia, established the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve.

He was commissioned into the Gloucestershire Regiment Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve (TAVR) in 1959, and transferred to the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (RAFVR) in 1962.

The regiment was originally a TAVR II (Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve) unit created due to defence cuts, being formed on 1 April 1967 at Huyton, near Liverpool and consisting of four squadrons:

The regiment was first formed in the Royal Corps of Transport in 1967, when the Territorial Army was disbanded and a new smaller volunteer force was created, the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserves (TAVR).

In 1967 the 5th (Volunteer) Battalion, a TAVR II (Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve) unit, was formed to be employed for use with NATO forces in West Germany during tense times in the Cold War.

Griffith Williams was a lieutenant in the Royal Welch Fusiliers as a member of Territorial Army (United Kingdom), joining in 1964 and becoming part of the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve when it was created in 1967.

In 1967, with reforms of the Armed Forces, it left the RE, returning to the Sherwood Foresters as part of The Robin Hood (Territorial) Battalion, a TAVR III (Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve) unit.

This was followed by a complete reorganisation announced in the 1966 Defence White Paper from 1 April 1967, when the title Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve (TAVR) was adopted, that abolished the former regimental and divisional structure of the TA.

When the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve was created the Army Emergency Reserve was abolished, as was its associated medals and thus this medal was in effect superseded by the Efficiency Medal which from this point had a T&AVR inscription on the suspender bar scroll.

Units in the new TAVR were divided into four categories:

In addition, there are two TAVR plant squadrons.

In 1969, the TAVR was re-designated as the Territorial Army.

Firstly, there was the TAVR 'commitment'.

Camp in 1970 was held at Lydd, a very good barracks, unfortunately unavailable to the TAVR until then.

Will he bear that in mind as he considers further recruitment for the TAVR in Northern Ireland?

An increase in the size of the TAVR in 1971 led to the formation of a number of battalions based on these cadres.

The TAVR III was disbanded in 1969, with the units being reduced to eight-man "cadres".

In 1967 the TA became the Territorial Army Volunteer Reserve (TAVR).

He was Honorary Colonel of the Scottish based 61 Signal Regiment TAVR in 1963.

To the TA soldier the TAVR commitment, with its 'obligatory days' and liability for full-time service, was at first a formidable challenge.

Instead of forming large reserve formations, the role of the new TAVR was to provide individual and unit-sized reinforcements for the Regular Army.

On 31 March 1967 the Regiment was disbanded on the demise of the Territorial Army and its replacement the TAVR.

The cadres became part of a "sponsoring" TAVR II unit, although continuing to wear the badges and perpetuating the traditions of their forebears.

He was Colonel of the 4th (Volunteer) Battalion, Queen's Lancashire Regiment (TAVR) between 1951 and 1967.

The 32nd (Scottish) Signal Regiment was created as a TAVR II being formed on 1 April 1967.

In 1952 he joined the North Somerset Yeomanry, and would later be honorary colonel of 6th Battalion, The Light Infantry (TAVR).

In 1967 it merged with the 4th Battalion to become the 4th/5th (East Kent TAVR) Battalion, The Queen's Regiment.

St. Luke's Medical Center and its medical team made medical history by performing the most number of TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacements) in the country.

Many, indeed most, came to the Regiment knowing little or nothing of the TAVR, but once having established that they had joined a thriving and worthwhile organisation, devoted their energy to improving its effectiveness.

So much so that in 1969 it was officially established and moved to the TAVR Centre in Elmgrove Terrace, Gateshead, the former home of 50 Regiment's 338 Squadron.

The 51st Highland Volunteers were formed on 1 April 1967 as a TAVR II (NATO reserve role) unit with headquarters located at Perth, Scotland:

In addition to coronary interventions, Dr. Sharma specializes in the non-surgical treatment of mitral and aortic stenosis and percutaneous aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

The Territorial Army and Volunteer Reserve (TAVR) Centre 30 Pelham Drive, Bootle, Liverpool is named after Private Masters, VC.

Walker later went on to command 23 SAS (TAVR)a service involving him in training potential "stay-behind" parties in northwest Europe in the event of a Warsaw Pact attack.
