The Army Minister explained that men with disabilities that do not render them unfit for service may join Clans 2. Loss of a limb or several fingers will not bar duty if not progressive or nominally disabling. Class 11A covers those fit for specific tasks in unit roles. Class 11B covers those for duties after field service. Roles include batmen, orderlies, clerks, and storemen at bases. The aim is to use capable men where they can serve.
