Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many members of overseas armed forces his Department is in a direct employment relationship with as of 15 October 2024.

I have interpreted your question to be asking for the number of foreign personnel on exchange or embedded with the UK Armed Forces.

The table below shows the number of foreign exchange personnel that were on strength with an active assignment, as at 15 Oct 2024, by assigned location country in either overseas or the United Kingdom.
