The Defence Organisation includes civil servants, military personnel, and civilian employees attached to military installations. There has been no recruitment of Military Personnel or Civilian Employees since the partial lifting of the embargo on recruitment.

The Public Appointments Service (PAS) is an independent body established under the Public Service Management Act 2004 for the purpose of providing recruitment, assessment and selection services for the Civil Service. PAS was engaged by my Department in order to facilitate the recruitment of 2 Administrative Officers and 1 Temporary Clerical Officer, all of whom took up duty between 1 January and 30 April 2015.
