| 2. Totals have been rounded to the nearest 10 for presentation purposes. | ||
| 3. Data have been rounded to the nearest 5 to limit disclosure and ensure confidentiality | ||
| 4. Data less than 5 have been suppressed and replaced with '*'. | ||
| 5. Totals have been rounded separately and so may not appear to be the sum of their parts. |

| ¹ Only 11 months of data currently available. ² — denotes unavailable. Notes: 1. The figures are for trained regular army other ranks (soldiers) only and therefore exclude officers, Gurkhas, Home Service battalions of the Royal Irish Regiment, full-time reserve service, mobilised reserves, TA and all other reserves. 2. For the purpose of this PQ, VO is defined as all exits from trained personnel which are voluntarily generated by the individual before the end of their agreed engagement or commission period (i.e. time expiry). Females who leave on marriage grounds are included in VO exits. 3. Due to the rounding methods used, totals may not always equal the sum of the parts. When rounding to the nearest 10, numbers ending in five have been rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias. |
