Intake and Outflow
In the 12 months to 31 March 2020 there was a net intake of 890
personnel to the UK Regular Forces. This is in contrast to a net outflow
of 2,150 in the 12 months to 31 March 2019. This is mainly driven by an
increase in intake to Army Regulars, which has increased by 45.5 per
cent. In the 12 months to January 2020 intake outstripped outflow for
the first time since June 2010. |
