VOLUNTEERING:FROM DOCTORS TO electrical engineers, journalists to logistics experts, the Rapid Response Corps (RRC) is a Mission Impossible-type collective of Irish Government-supported volunteers, sent to some of the most challenging and volatile environments in the world.
To get into the Rapid Response Corps, volunteers must go through a selection and training process, which includes military and logistical training at the Curragh Camp in Kildare. Currently, six members of the corps have been deployed to Haiti, while 11 others are serving in places such as Afghanistan, Chad and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
