The 1st Recruit Training Battalion is structured as a unit, no differently to any major regimental unit in the Army. This facilitates the recruits understanding of the Army way of doing business; its structure, organisations, how internal relationships work and the methods for command and control. The 1st Recruit Training Battalion is commanded by a headquarters and consists of five recruit training companies (Coy) each of six recruit training platoons (PL) and a Training Support Company consisting of four specialist support platoons. The 1st Recruit Training Battalion is capable of training 1200 recruits in 24 platoons of 50 recruits, or if required surging to train 1500 at a time in 30 platoons of 50 recruits.
