<p>Overall outflow figures for the Future Reserve 2020 (FR20) Volunteer Reserve in
2015 have fallen compared with previous years, with this fall driven primarily by
the Army Reserve. This reflects the impact of a number of initiatives we have taken
to improve the Reserves experience, such as better equipment and training, improved
reward, and wider opportunities to serve alongside the Regulars as well as improving
our relationships with employers.</p><p> </p><p>Increases in outflow from the Maritime
and RAF Reserves should be understood within the context of significant increases
to their strengths over the period. As a proportion of their respective trained-strengths,
outflow figures for the Maritime and RAF Reserves have been steady, and are sustainable
and consistent with the FR20 programme and related targets. This is evidenced by the
fact that the Maritime and RAF Reserves are currently above their April 2016 trained
strength targets.</p><p> </p><p>The attached tables provide detailed information on
FR20 outflow and trained strength since 2013.</p>
