	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2014 answer text <p>The term “recruitment target” has been interpreted as the 30,000 trained Army Reservists required under Army 2020.<br><br>During the Three Month Exercise, the Ministry Of Defence examined a range of Force Structure options which were assessed as being able to deliver the policy demand specified by the new Defence Planning Assumptions laid out in Strategic Defence and Security Review 2010. As a result of this, a Senior Military Judgement Panel chaired by the Vice Chief of the Defence Staff and including the Assistant Chiefs of the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force concluded that the size of the Regular Army should be 82,500, and the Independent Commission to Review the United Kingdom's Reserve Forces recommended an Army Reserve of 30,000 trained personnel. This was judged to be the optimal size and shape of the Army within available resources.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 25/06/2014 16:10:50 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry previous answer version 4720 answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois answering member 1444
