The below figures are given as of 1 January 2024 - due to the method used to capture personnel data, these are the most current available figures.

These figures include all UK Regular Forces including Gurkhas, Military Provost Guard Service (MPGS), Locally Engaged Personnel (LEP), Volunteer Reserve, Serving Regular Reserve, Sponsored Reserve, and FTRS of unknown origin. University Officer Cadets are excluded. Unless otherwise stated, these include both trained and untrained personnel.

The figures are based on Service personnel’s stationed location and not their location of residence – where personnel’s work isn’t necessarily where they live.

Figures containing reserve personnel are estimates because the stationed location data for Reserves has not been fully verified through JPA.

Figures have been rounded to the nearest 10 to prevent inadvertent disclosure, however numbers ending in “5” have been rounded to the nearest 20 to prevent systemic bias. It should also be noted that reserve numbers are estimates as these are not fully verified through JPA.
