The University Unit Military Competition (UNICOMP) took place in January 2011 in Hampshire’s Aldershot Training Areas. 21 competitors from four units participated in events testing military skills and fitness on land and in the pool. Glasgow University Officer Training Corps (UOTC) won the male category and Manchester and Salford UOTC won the female category.

The event was staged an as inter-UOTC competition but also to provide a selection platform for novices to progress to the team training for inclusion in the UK squad travelling to Warsaw in August 2011 for the annual CIOR Military Competition. Twelve cadets were selected for further training. For the individual, the CIOR Military Competition provides significant opportunities for personal development in basic military skills and levels of fitness. To the Unit, the individual brings much-improved standards and proof of high levels of commitment.

Maj Andy Mason RMR, organiser of the competition, said ‘It is always a pleasure to be infected by the cadets’ enthusiasm and dedication, no matter how tough the events are. Appreciation must be given to the University Units for getting their personnel to the ‘start line’, especially those who travelled great distances. The MILCOMP coaches are looking forward to the start of training and to the results that I am sure we can all produce in the summer of 2011 in Poland’.

A further University Unit Military Competition will be held in January 2012. For more information, contact the Secretariat on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
