The Melbourne University Regiment (MUR) is an officer training unit in the Australian Army Reserve (ARes).
General Sir John Monash was a Colour Sergeant of this unit before taking a commission in the colonial and later Commonwealth militia.
[citation needed] As a University Regiment the unit did not deploy with the AIF in either of the world wars and as such, it carries no Battle Honours on its Colours.
However, many officers and soldiers of AIF units had received their initial military training or commissions with the University Rifles.
MUR is a direct command unit of 8 Bde and as part of the 2nd Division, responsible for training of ARes officer cadets (OCDTs) and other ranks (ORs).
