Jerry Roodhouse joins campaign to open the Reserves to retired Gurkhas

Gurkha Reserves for a Stronger Future Armed Forces

Jerry Roodhouse, has joined the campaign to open up the Reserves to retired Gurkhas, so they can lead the way in making the future Reserve forces more skilled and stronger than ever. The MoD plans to fully integrate 30,000 fully-trained Reserves into the Regular Army by 2020, but Jerry believes we need to do more to achieve this. As Nepalese citizens, the well-respected Gurkhas do not currently have a Reserve liability, unlike other soldiers. Alongside former Defence Minister Nick Harvey, Jerry is calling on the Ministry of Defence to retain the Gurkhas' unique skills by putting them into the Regular Reserve in recognition of their service. As part of the Regular Reserves they can lead the way in building the Territorial Army and the Regular Reserve into the new Future Reserves. This will send a strong signal that the new, rejuvenated Reserve force is more robust and deployment-ready than ever.
