Traditionally half of each intake is recruited from the west of Nepal, around Pokhara, and half from the east, around Dharan. The recruitment of Gurkhas was reduced during the redundancy programme but has now increased. The table shows the recruit totals and the allocation to units for the recruiting year 2010 to date. The allocation to units for 2015 is provisional as the recruits are still under training.<\/p><p> <\/p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>UNIT<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p><strong>2011<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p><strong>2012<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p><strong>2013<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p><strong>2014<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p><strong>2015<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><strong>Royal Gurkha Rifles<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p>100<\/p><\/td><td><p>100<\/p><\/td><td><p>60<\/p><\/td><td><p>60<\/p><\/td><td><p>120<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><strong>Queen's Gurkha Engineers<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p>20<\/p><\/td><td><p>20<\/p><\/td><td><p>20<\/p><\/td><td><p>20<\/p><\/td><td><p>20<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><strong>Queen's Gurkha Signals<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p>30<\/p><\/td><td><p>20<\/p><\/td><td><p>20<\/p><\/td><td><p>20<\/p><\/td><td><p>40<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><strong>Queen's Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p>20<\/p><\/td><td><p>30<\/p><\/td><td><p>20<\/p><\/td><td><p>20<\/p><\/td><td><p>40<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><strong>Gurkha Staff and Personnel Support<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p>10<\/p><\/td><td><p>10<\/p><\/td><td><p>-<\/p><\/td><td><p>-<\/p><\/td><td><p>-<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><strong>Brigade Band<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p>-<\/p><\/td><td><p>-<\/p><\/td><td><p>-<\/p><\/td><td><p>-<\/p><\/td><td><p>-<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><strong>TOTALS<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p><strong>180<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p><strong>180<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p><strong>130<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p><strong>130<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p><strong>230<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p> <\/p><p>The totals are official statistics produced by Defence Statistics.
