<br /><p>Army Reserve recruitment targets for Financial Year 2015-16 to 2018-19, broken
down by trained entrants and new recruits are contained within The Future Reserves
2020 paper which was placed in the Library of the House on 19 December 2013 , (reference
number DEP2013-2063) and is still valid. I refer the right hon. Member to the written
ministerial statement made by my right hon. Friend the former Secretary of State for
Defence the right hon. Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) on 19 December
2013 (Official Report column 124WS). There are no targets currently set for year 2019-20.</p><br
/><p>Requirements for Regular intake to the trained strength are provisionally set
for three years in advance but are subject to change. This requirement underpins the
recruitment target. The Army Recruitment and Training Division recruitment target
for 2015-16 is 10,025 (this figure does not include Gurkhas). Not all of those recruited
will successfully complete training to intake into the trained strength. It is not
possible to give recruiting targets beyond Financial Year 2015-16 as intake requirements
beyond the forthcoming year are subject to constant review and amendment.</p><br /><br
/><p>The following tables detail provisional requirements for trained intake to the
Regular Army by Cap-badge. All targets remain under constant review. Intake requirements
are produced on a rolling basis and have not yet been confirmed beyond financial year
2018-19.</p><br /><p>Requirements for trained Soldier intake into the Regular trained
