<p>The pass rate for recruits into the Army’s trained strength for the last five years
is set out in the tables below.</p><p> </p><p>The definition of trained personnel
was changed in October 2016 to reflect the ability for personnel who have completed
basic training to be utilised in response to crises within the UK. Prior to this information
was only held centrally by the Department in relation to recruits completing trade
training.</p><p> </p><p>2017-18 figures will include a significant number of personnel
still progressing through either basic or trade training and therefore pass rates
will continue to increase. In earlier years some individuals can take longer to proceed
through the pipeline due to differing lengths of trade training and personal/medical
reasons and are therefore shown as still in training.</p><p> </p><p>The Army also
has an intake of recruits every year who have already passed elements of training
during previous Service; as such, the below intake does not fully reflect the total
intake into the Army each year.</p><p> </p><p>Table 1: Pass Rates for Regular Officers,
