Recruitment to the Brigade of Gurkhas in Nepal starts in April each year with an advert stating the number required. Final selection and enlistment is in December with allocation to unit occurring towards the end of training the following year. 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>

Although the Ministry of Defence (MOD) does not directly undertake A400M flight testing, MOD personnel and subject matter experts scrutinise and, with counterparts from other partner nations, confirm the validity of certification evidence, including the robustness of flight test evidence in supporting the A400M safety case.<\/p> In addition to the scope of the A400M development programme, there are a number of dedicated UK capabilities, such as UK parachutes and aerial delivery systems, which need to be cleared from a safety perspective on A400M.
