Notes/Caveats: | |||||||
Figures are for trained and untrained strengths. The average expected outflow from the untrained strength (phase 1 & 2) is around 25% | |||||||
Figures are for Regular and Reserves strengths only, therefore exclude Gurkhas but include those individuals who have transferred from GURTAM to UKTAP. | |||||||
Reserves data is derived from FR20 population which consists of Group A Army Reserves, some Sponsored Reserves and those personnel serving on FTRS contracts who were previously Army Reserve. | |||||||
Army Medical Service consists of Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC), Royal Army Dental Corps (RADC), Royal Army Veterinary Corps (RAVC) and Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps (QARANC). | |||||||
Adjutant General's Corps (AGC) consists of Staff & Personnel Support (SPS), Royal Military Police (RMP), Military Provost Staff (MPS), Army Legal Services (ALS), Educational and Training Services (ETS) and Unspecified. | |||||||
Figures have been rounded to 10; numbers ending in "5" have been rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias. | |||||||
Totals and sub-totals have been rounded separately and so may not appear to be the sum of their parts. | |||||||
“-” denotes zero or rounded to zero. | |||||||
