They include members of the Disaster Assistance Response Team, which is made up of civilians as well as members of the Forces.
The latest quake to hit Nepal struck a remote mountain region, killing at least 37 people and injuring more than 1,000 others.
It comes three weeks after the Himalayan nation was ravaged by its worst quake in decades, which killed thousands.
