* Since January 1986 a Wing of the British Military Advisory and Training Team in Zimbabwe has been specifically allocated to train Mozambican troops within Zimbabwe.

Some of these personnel have filled posts in overseas staff colleges and similar establishments which may have been attended by students from countries other than the host nation. Records of such students are not held centrally and it would require disproportionate cost to establish precise details.
