I have a friend in the US (inactive reserve) can they transfer to BA?

My friend is almost 18 and is a US citizen wanting to move to the UK. They would really love to join the British army and are currently an Inactive Reserve with US military. I'm just looking for any advice yo him.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your question.

    I’m afraid the British Army does not accept transferees from the US Army. Your friend would need to become a British citizen and then apply to join.
