We make regular use of national and local media to increase public awareness of the contribution our Reserves make to Defence through both general marketing and highlighting Reserves activity. Recently, for example, we have publicised the support given by Reservists in the operation to counter the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. This helps to increase recognition of the contribution that Reservists make and to demonstrate to potential recruits the range of challenges and opportunities within the Reserves.<\/p>
The Army Reserve's updated 'More Than Meets the Eye' campaign starts on 16 January 2015 with a PR launch at Waterloo Station, whilst the Royal Air Force has also developed a Reserves-specific advert.<\/p>
Local units also play an important role in promoting Reserve service. For example, in your constituency, Work Place Recruiting Events were run by local Army and RAF personnel at the Department of Environment, Food & Rural Affairs in Malton in October and November 2014.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/77", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Julian Brazier"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Canterbury"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Julian Brazier"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-01-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-01-14T17:34:03.487Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-01-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Reserve Forces"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to promote service in the Reserves.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/384", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness McIntosh of Pickering"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thirsk and Malton"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Miss Anne McIntosh"} ], "uin" : "220143"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/172751", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Defence"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/172751/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

As I made clear in the debate on the Armed Forces Covenant on 22 October 2014 (Official Report, columns 971-1004), the implementation of the Covenant in Northern Ireland is going from strength to strength. The Armed Forces Covenant annual report, laid before the house on 16 December 2014, highlights the good progress that was made during 2014; nearly all of the measures in the Covenant now extend to Northern Ireland or will soon do so.<\/p>
I am planning to visit Northern Ireland in due course to see for myself the results of this good progress and the benefits which this has brought for the Armed Forces Community in the Province.<\/p>
We will continue to work with the Northern Ireland Executive to ensure that the needs of the Armed Forces community are met.<\/p>

The current Service Complaints Commissioner does not have the power to undertake investigations. She can refer allegations of a wrong suffered by a current or former Service person to the relevant officer in the chain of command.<\/p>
The Armed Forces (Service Complaints and Financial Assistance) Bill before Parliament will, if enacted, permit the newly established Service Complaints Ombudsman to investigate allegations of maladministration in connection with the handling of Service complaints once the internal process is complete. The Bill proposes that the procedure for carrying out an investigation is to be such as the Ombudsman considers appropriate, subject to any regulations made by the Secretary of State. There is no intention to impose a time limit for the conclusion of Ombudsman investigations.<\/p>
In accordance with existing policy, the chain of command, discloses papers to relevant parties as part of the Service complaints process. If the Bill is enacted, the new Ombudsman will have to prepare a report of completed investigations into alleged maladministration, setting out their findings. Recommendations may also be made. A copy of the report will need to be sent to the Defence Council (for the chain of command to respond), the complainant and any other persons who may be specified in Secretary of State regulations. The Ombudsman may also, in accordance with the Bill, send a copy of the report to any person whom they consider appropriate.<\/p>

Between 1992 and 2002, members of the UK Armed Forces served in the former Yugoslavia under the command of the UN Protection Force or NATO. UK personnel who served within this period and met the eligibility criteria were entitled to receive either the UN Medal or NATO Service Medal. Eligibility for the UN Medal commenced on 1 March 1992 and ran until 31 December 1995. Eligibility for the NATO Service Medal commenced on 1 July 1992 and ended on 31 December 2002.<\/p>
UK personnel serving between 1992 and 1995 were not permitted to receive both awards for the same period of service. This would have contravened a central principle of the UK honours system of no double-medalling, which states that only one form of medallic recognition is acceptable for a single period of service. Therefore, personnel serving between 1992 and 1995 received either the UN Medal or the NATO Service Medal, depending on whether they were under UN or NATO command. Personnel serving from 1996 onwards would be entitled only to the NATO Service Medal.<\/p>
Both medals were approved by Her Majesty to be accepted and worn.<\/p>

The Sarajevo airlift began in July 1992 and ran until January 1996. Members of the UK Armed Forces who took part in the airlift and met the eligibility criteria were entitled to be awarded the UN Special Service Medal. UN medals are usually awarded in theatre by the UN Commanding Officer. The information on the number of medals awarded in this case could be provided only at disproportionate cost.<\/p>
UK personnel could also apply to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) Medal Office within one year of their return to the UK for the UN Special Service Medal. The MOD Medal Office has issued 67 such medals to UK personnel.<\/p>
