star this property answer text <p>The table below sets out details of the Ministry of Defence’s intake of Service personnel into engineering trades, corps or branches in the UK Reserve Forces, by financial year. Numbers presented are likely to be underestimates as engineers can be recruited into non-engineering branches or may not be recorded as engineers on entry. Data quality issues mean that, for the Army, figures prior to 1 April 2012 are unavailable; for the Maritime Reserves and Royal Auxiliary Air Force data is unavailable prior to 1 October 2012.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td><p><strong>2012-13</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013-14</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014-15 (6 months to 30 September)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Maritime Reserve</strong></p></td><td><p>n/a</p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Army Reserve (Royal Engineers)</strong></p></td><td><p>655</p></td><td><p>470</p></td><td><p>285</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Royal Auxiliary Air Force</strong></p></td><td><p>n/a</p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p>15</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p> </p><p>1.
