Notes
(1) The FR20 Volunteer Reserve population includes mobilised Volunteer Reserves, High Readiness Reserves (HRR) and those volunteer reserves serving on Full Time Reserve Service (FTRS) and Additional Duties Commitment (ADC). Non Regular Permanent Staff (NRPS), Expeditionary Forces Institute (EFI), Sponsored Reserves and University Officer Cadets are excluded.
(2) Military personnel numbers are sourced from the Joint Personnel Administration (JPA) system. Location data are based on the stationed location of the individual as recorded in the ‘Assignment Location’ field of the JPA system. The figures are based on Service personnel’s stationed location and not their location of residence – where personnel work is not necessarily where they live, this is particularly the case for those serving in National Units. Personnel deployed on operations to an area away from their stationed location are shown against their most recent stationed location.
(3) Centrally held data dates back to October 2012 for the Maritime Reserve, April 2012 for the Army Reserve and April 2013 for the Royal Air Force Reserves and therefore FY2012-13 Tri Service intake is unavailable.
(4) Location statistics have been reported as estimates because stationed location data for Reserve has not been validated.

Rounding
When rounding to the nearest 10, numbers ending in “5” have been rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias.
Totals and sub-totals have been rounded separately and so may not equal the sums of their rounded parts.
