<p>The North East of England has been interpreted to mean one of the nine Nomenclature
of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) of England: <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/methodology/geography/ukgeographies/eurostat#north-east-england"
target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/methodology/geography/ukgeographies/eurostat#north-east-england</a></p><p>
</p><p>The requested information is provided in the following tables. All figures
are single Service estimates and as such, are non-comparable:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Royal
Navy (RN) / Royal Marines (RM)</strong></p><p> </p><p>The numbers of RN/RM Other Ranks
(Regular and Reserve) recruited in the last five full Financial Years (FY) through
Armed Forces Careers Offices in Middlesbrough and Newcastle are as follows:</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>FY</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013-14</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014-15</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015-16</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016-17</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017-18</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Regulars
(Other Ranks)</p></td><td><p>260</p></td><td><p>200</p></td><td><p>240</p></td><td><p>210</p></td><td><p>230</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Reserves
(Other Ranks)</p></td><td><p>20</p></td><td><p>30</p></td><td><p>30</p></td><td><p>20</p></td><td><p>20</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>Officer recruitment has not been included as this is carried out on a regional
basis; officer recruits from the North-East are recruited alongside recruits from
the whole of Northern England through the Manchester Officer Careers Liaison Centre.
The figures do not necessarily indicate that the individuals reside in the North East.</p><p>
</p><p><strong>Army</strong></p><p>The table below shows the number of people who
have enlisted in the Army for each of the last five Financial Years, with a contact
address within the North East.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>FY</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013-14</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014-15</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015-16</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016-17</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017-18</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Regulars
and Reservists, (Officers and Other Ranks)</p></td><td><p>520</p></td><td><p>800</p></td><td><p>770</p></td><td><p>630</p></td><td><p>530</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>Figures relate to untrained intake to initial training (Phase 1) by Recruiting
Year. Figures do not include Gurkhas, Gibraltarians or Military Provost Guard Service.
The figures do not necessarily indicate that individuals reside in the North East.</p><p>
</p><p><strong><br> </strong></p><p><strong>Royal Air Force (RAF)</strong></p><p>
</p><p>The numbers of Regular RAF Service personnel (Officers and Other Ranks) who
enlisted through the Armed Forces Careers Offices in Newcastle are as follows:</p><p>
</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>FY</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013-14</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014-15</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015-16</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016-17</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017-18</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Regulars
and Reservists, (Officers and Other Ranks)</p></td><td><p>100</p></td><td><p>80</p></td><td><p>120</p></td><td><p>130</p></td><td><p>110</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>The figures do not necessarily indicate that the individuals reside in the
North East.</p><p> </p><p>There is no unit within the North East which has Royal Auxiliary
Air Force (RAuxAF, RAF Reserves) Squadrons. RAF Leeming in the Yorkshire and The Humber
NUTS is the closest location for individuals from the North East to join the RAuxAF.
The figures for RAF Reservists enlisted at RAF Leeming are as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Recruiting
Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>20</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>50</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>40</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>80</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>50</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>All numbers have been rounded. Totals may not equal the sum of their parts.
All numbers are rounded to the nearest 10 with numbers ending in 5 rounded to the
nearest multiple of 20 to avoid bias.</p><p> </p>
