Thanks to everyone for their help so far. Would anyone be able to enlighten me with what a T2 and a T3 engagement would mean in the army. Thank you

Have to go off line now, so in the hope someone will come on later and know the answer to my question - I won't be ignoring you I just won't be here - but thanks anyway!

Don't know, I googled and was offered a few sites to look at A-Z's of jargon, but it didn't come up .
So was thinking, either it's a top secret thing, or an outdated term, or just something that's not universally recognised.
Are we talking British Army and are we talking present time....I just presumed you were??

Sorry been off line.
It was in the info I got for my grandad and it was when he re-enlisted in the army in the 1920s I suspect the T could be for territorial, or yes could be temporary but the 2 don't match with the length of time he was back.
