Asked by:
Lord De Mauley (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary)
Question
to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when they expect the Defence Recruiting System to be able to process enlistments to the Army Reserve.
Answered by Earl Howe
- Shadow Deputy Leader of the House of Lords
The Defence Recruiting System (DRS) went live on 13 November and replaced a 20 year old system. It will enable a quicker and easier recruitment process for applicants and the Armed Forces.
As with any new information system defects have been identified post 'Go Live' and we recognise that for a couple of months these created some problems with the application process, including particular issues regarding the enlistment of new Army Reserves.
These issues have been urgently addressed and are either fixed or have temporary mitigations in place to minimise applicant facing issues. With these mitigations DRS is now processing enlistments to the Army Reserve.
