MOD personnel statistics: change to army trained strength definition

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) announced on 30 June 2016 that it was changing the army trained, disciplined manpower by changing the definition of trained strength to include those in the army whom have completed Phase 1 training. This will affect some tri-service totals. This does not affect the naval service or the RAF in any way.

The MOD publishes a wide range of armed forces personnel statistics and the change of definition will, in places, change how we intend to present these statistics. We intend to use this new definition in our 1 October 2016 editions published in November 2016.

Please provide your comments on how this will impact on you:
