I am sure that today various elements for the RAF Regt are on graduated RS as with other force elements across Sea, Land and Air. Indeed, in my day we twice exceeded the requirements of the mandated RS in order to get the job done. My own record was to leave HQ Air at 1400Z (having travelled from HONZ), return to HONZ get my gear and be on the midnight someday C130 bound for Sierra Leone.
