As at 1 April 2020 the strength of the Regular Army was 79,620 personnel.

Notes/Caveats:

These figures were provided by Defence Statistics (Army)

Figures are for Untrained and Trained Regular strengths and therefore exclude Full Time Reserve Service (FTRS) and Gurkhas but include those individuals who have transferred out of the Gurkhas to the Regular Army.
