Under Future Reserves 2020, the Army Reserve has a structure (workforce requirement) of circa 31,650 which will remain the same in 2021.

Under the Defence Secretary's announcement and launch of the Defence Command Paper, we will see a more productive integration of the Army Reserve by 2025. Work to refine the exact breakdown of the future structure is still ongoing however, there is currently no plan to change the categorisation of Untrained, Trained and Trade Trained for the Army Reserves. The Army does not anticipate a need for any change of definition either now or beyond the implementation of the Integrated Review.
