CONFIDENTIAL UK EYES A
-
through a period of military and political flux examples being
the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa and while it is too
early to make changes to the number of guaranteed places offered
to these regions, the need for flexibility has been recognised
by the introduction of floating places to be allocated in the
light of circumstances at the time. The main losers in terms of
guaranteed places have been NATO Europe, North America, South
Asia and Australasia. A comparison of the new regional allocation
with that used for the 1992 course is shown below:

5. This distribution of places will remain subject to review and
may need to be adjusted in future years. But I believe it represents a sensible formula with which to guide the allocation
of places for the 1993 course.
