What has been happening in REME Soldier Wing? REME Soldier Wing Update Scribe: WO1 (ASM) Reed – REME Soldier Wing WO
A
lot has changed since the last REME Soldier Wing (RSW) Update in July 2019 – career management has been on a steady path of continuous improvement. We have been looking both in and out at how the process can be made more efficient, freeing up the career managers to spend more time actively delivering career management to REME Soldiers.

posts and the opportunity for numerous preferences to be submitted. Consequently, an improvement in the quality of PPPs has been witnessed, with more realistic aspirations being submitted based on what is available. Equally, five vlogs on how an Assignment Board works, how to complete a PPP, the FCR process and how the Promotion and Employability Boards work have now been published. A Field Force Representative (FFR) now attends each Assignment Board in direct support of the career manager. Current military input is now injected into all Assignment Boards by the FFR, as well as adding military judgement – they are being used to clarify any PPPs that don’t make sense to the board, or to discuss other options if all preferences have already been taken. So, don’t be surprised if the FFR gives you a call during an Assignment Board! RSW also deliver mock Promotion / Assignment Boards to units that have requested training. These have been designed
