Notes:

For the Army, FC and LC individuals serve against the requirement whilst HC individuals fill posts specifically for FTRS personnel. For the RAF, FC individuals serve against the requirement whilst HC and LC individuals fill posts specifically for FTRS personnel. All Navy FTRS individuals serve against the requirement.

				30	p are from the Regular, not Volunteer Reserves;
				140	p RAF Reservists mobilised for service of which

				230	p Gibraltar Permanent Cadre
				190	p Naval Activated Reservists of which

4.	Due to ongoing validation of data from the Joint Personnel Administration System, Naval Service, Army and RAF strength statistics at 1 April 2008 and 1 September 2008 are provisional and subject to review.
5	The Strength for all three services have been calculated against DP08 Liabilities. The Requirements for the Naval Service in months between April 08 and April 09 are updated monthly by interpolating between DP08 April 08 and April 09 Liabilities. The Requirements for the RAF in months between April 08 and April 09 are updated quarterly by interpolating between DP08 April 08 and April 09 Liabilities.
6	There has been an unexpectedly high number of Royal Engineers who flowed from untrained to trained Strength during August, this change is currently under investigation.
Due to rounding methods used, totals may not always equal the sum of the parts. When rounding to the nearest 10, numbers ending in 5 have been rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias.
-	denotes zero or rounded to zero.
p	denotes provisional.
