Of the 297 Regular and Reserve personnel currently serving with 77th Brigade, 11 (4%) personnel are from the Royal Navy, 276 (93%) are from the Army and 10 (3%) are from the Royal Air Force. This includes 18 Special Reserve Officers with niche skills, most of whom do not have previous military service. The remainder of the Regular and Reserve personnel have transferred to 77th Brigade from other units.
