There were 78,620 Regular Army personnel on strength as at 1 January 2020

Notes/Caveats:

These figures were provided by Defence Statistics (Army)

Figures are for Untrained and Trained Regular strengths and therefore exclude Full Time Reserve Service (FTRS) and Gurkhas but include those individuals who have transferred out of the Gurkhas to the Regular Army.

Figures have been rounded to 10 for presentational purposes;
