Returned to unit

Returned to unit

Returned To Unit or RTU is a term used in the Canadian Forces and the UK to refer to a military member being returned to their home base or home unit, either due to their being medically unfit, their requesting to be withdrawn from training, or their being unfit for training or otherwise disorderly. As military members can only be court-martialed at their home base or unit, being RTU'd for misconduct can often be a precursor to further judicial punishment.
