Former Maoist combatants who were inducted into the national defense forces, have now formally become Nepal Army (NA) personnel after finishing their mandatory training. Altogether 1,352 former rebel combatants completed a nine-month basic army training on Friday to formally become part of the national army. As per the Secretariat of the Army Integration Special Committee, 71 combatants for officer level and 1,373 for other ranks were selected for training. However, 21 combatants could not complete the training due to various reasons. In addition to the former combatants inducted at officer level, 1,352 combatants integrated into the lower ranks in the army have completed basic training and received formal permission to join the army. 

According to a statement issued by NA´s Directorate of Public Relations (DPR), 16 of the combatants initially selected for integration took voluntary retirement before training started while 14 others retired voluntarily in the course of the training, and three were found medically unfit. Five others fled the training camp. According to Sharma, 14 First Class Warrant Officers, 40 Second Class Warrant Officers, 168 Sergeants, 190 Corporals, 181 Lance Corporals and 759 Privates passed out from basic training. 

The pass-outs will be posted at different directorates under the newly established NA General Directorate. The Nepal Army has already created 4,417 new posts for the purpose.
