Data is presented for each Service by Officer / Rank breakdown and for civilian personnel, non industrial / industrial breakdowns (including Trading Funds and Locally Engaged Civilians). Key Points and Trends At 1 April 15, 89.9% of UK Regular Forces and 93.2% of MOD civilians excluding LEC personnel were stationed in the UK. The strength of UK Regular Forces stationed in the UK fell by 3,0 (2.2%) between 1 April 14 and 1 April 15 from 141,1 to 138,1. Over the same period, the number of UK civilian personnel decreased by 2,0 (4.0%) from 51,6 to 49,5. There has been a reduction in Trading Funds strength between 1 Jan 15 and 1 April 15 from 7,0 to 4,4. This was driven by Defence Support Group 9 transferring to Babcock (2,000 personnel) as at 1 April The strength of UK Regular Forces stationed overseas 14 decreased from 18,0 to 15,0 (15.4%) between 1 April and 1 April 15. Over the same period, the number 18 of MOD civilian personnel based overseas decreased from 8,5 to 6,4 (25.3%) The number of UK Regular Forces personnel stationed in Germany continued to decrease from 12,9 to,0 26 (22.6%) between 1 April 14 and 1 April 15 in line with the announcement made during the Strategic Defence & Security Review (SDSR). 27 We are reopening our consultation on Changes to MOD Armed Forces Personnel Statistics, which includes changes we intend to make to this publication. The consultation will be available at: 28 Further Information: Defence Statistics (Tri Service) Tel: DefStratStatTriEnquiries@mod.uk Our website: gov.uk/government/organisations/ministryofdefence/about/statistics

2 Definitions and Notes to tables UK Regular Forces Figures are for UK Regular Forces (including both Trained and Untrained personnel), and therefore exclude Gurkhas, Full Time Reserve Service personnel and mobilised reservists. Royal Navy / Royal Marines personnel on sea service are included against the local authority containing the home port of their ship. Royal Air Force Other serving in the South Atlantic are shown against the location containing their home base. MOD Civilian Personnel Civilian figures are reported as Full Time Equivalent (FTE). FTE is a measure of the size of the workforce that takes account of the fact that some people work parttime. Parttime staff are counted according to the number of hours they work per week as a proportion of normal hours for their grade and location. Section 1 civilian personnel total includes Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA). RFA civilian personnel cannot be identified by location as the data are not held centrally. Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) changed status as at 1 April 15 and was reclassified as a Bespoke Trading Entity, reported under the title DES Bespoke Trading Entity, and will be reported in the same format as current Trading Funds. For the purposes of the April 15 QLS report it has still been reported in and Non Civilian figures to allow comparable analysis of DE&S across the SDSR period covering 1 April to 1 April 15 on a consistent basis. Data Sources: UK Regular Forces data 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 isn't necessarily where they live. Personnel deployed on operations to an area away from their stationed location are shown against their most recent stationed location. MOD civilian data are compiled from several sources: 1) Core MOD Personnel Data for core MOD personnel are taken from the personnel system Human Resources Management System (HRMS). Defence Statistics use budgetary UINs and attribute people according to the budgetary area that pays them, using the Standing Data System hierarchy from Financial Management Information Systems. 2) Trading Funds Trading Funds were introduced by the Government under the Trading Funds Act 1973 as a means of financing trading operations of a government department which, hitherto, have been carried out on Vote. They are selfaccounting units that have greater freedom than other government departments in managing their own financial and management activities. They are also free to negotiate their own terms and conditions with their personnel and for this reason their grading structures do not always match that of the rest of the Ministry, and this is reflected in some of the tables. Currently the MOD has two Trading Funds DSTL and the UK Hydrographic Office. Until 1 October 11, the Met Office also was reported on by the MOD, but as of 1 October 11 their responsibility transferred to the Department for Business, Information and Skills (BIS). Defence Support Group (DSG) was privatised as at 1 April 15, with approximately 2,000 posts transferring to Babcock. Approximately 4 personnel were retained with the Department as the Defence Electronic Components Agency (DECA) within Head Office and Corporate Services. 2

3 3) Locally engaged civilians (LEC) LEC employees are recruited overseas exclusively for employment in support of the UK Armed Forces deployed in a particular overseas theatre and on terms and conditions of service applicable only to that overseas theatre or Administration. This includes the dependents of UK military personnel or UKbased civilian staff employed in overseas theatre (who are sometimes separately identified as UK Dependents). LECs are not civil servants. LEC data are provided by Top Level Budgetary areas quarterly to Defence Statistics requirements. LEC FTE strengths are based on the actual FTE of parttime LECs where available, and the FTE for those parttime personnel where actual values remain unavailable are estimated with the mean FTE of parttime LECs, increasing the accuracy of LEC FTE. 4) The Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) RFA data are now taken from the Magellan personnel system. Previously these data were taken from the CHIPS payroll system, but moving to the Magellan system allows total personnel numbers to be reported, rather than purely those being paid. Data Issues Strengths/Weaknesses (Data Quality): 1. All tables presented in this publication meet the high standards of quality and integrity demanded by the Code of Practice for Official Statistics. 2. As a result of improvements in the quality of data sourced from JPA and the monthly data validation processes, Defence Statistics consider all data from 1 November 11 to be fit for purpose. Consequently strength data published from 1 November 11 onwards are considered finalised and will no longer be marked as provisional. Defence Statistics welcome feedback on our statistical products.
