Notes:
1. Headcount is a measure of the size of the workforce that counts all people equally regardless of their hours of work.
2. The figures above relate to permanent and casual MOD Main and Trading Fund personnel only. Excluded are all Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) and locally engaged civilian (LEC) personnel.
3. Personnel who exit under Voluntary Early Release Schemes from 1 July 2011 onwards are listed separately for MOD Main from those leaving under alternative voluntary release or redundancy schemes.
4. Where rounding has been used, totals and sub-totals have been rounded separately and so may not equal the sums of their rounded parts. When rounding to the nearest 10, numbers ending in “5” have been rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias.
- denotes 0 and a ~ denotes numbers of 1 to 5.
