Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many and what proportion of service personnel from the (a) British Army, (b) Royal Navy and (c) Royal Air Force will participate in joint exercises in (i) 2024, (ii) 2025 and (iii) 2026.

It is estimated that 13,750 (18%) of the Army, 3936 (13.6%) of the Royal Navy and 4,025 (11.4%) of the RAF will participate in joint exercises in 2024*. It is not possible to provide the same for 2025 and 2026 as it is too early in the planning process.

*Please note that some individuals may participate in more than one exercise and may therefore be counted more than once. This will impact the accuracy of the proportion figure.
