<p>Absent Without Leave (AWOL) information is recorded by the Royal Military Police
on their REDCAP system. The number of soldiers recorded as AWOL in each of the last
five completed calendar years is:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td>Year</td><td>2009</td><td>2010</td><td>2011</td><td>2012</td><td>2013</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>2,135</td><td>1,991</td><td>1,457</td><td>1,062</td><td>815</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Each
incidence of AWOL is recorded as a separate entry. As such if an individual has been
AWOL three times during a year this will be recorded as three separate instances of
AWOL.</p><p> </p><p>To provide the age of each individual would require a manual check
of every AWOL record and as such could be provided only at disproportionate cost.</p><p>
