<p>In order to facilitate a clearer public understanding the Ministry of Defence now
uses the term "requirement" in place of "service liability" in
its publications, although this is effectively the same thing. Likewise, we now refer
to "trained strength" rather than "funded strength" and "paid
strength".</p><p>Information on the requirements and full time trained strengths
of UK Armed Forces, including a breakdown by Service, is published in the UK Armed
Forces Monthly Personnel Report. The latest edition includes data as at 1 September
2014 and is available at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/361249/MPR_September_2014.pdf</p><p>
