<p>The average number of Reserve Service Days, previously known as Manned or Mandatory
Training Days, undertaken by individual reservists in the Field Army in the training
year April 2016 to March 2017 was 40. All units have unique structures to deliver
their specific capability. To get an average number of Reserve Service Days, an infantry
structure of a company with a strength of 97 and a battalion with a strength of 439,
equates to 3,980 and 17,560 respectively.</p><p>Notes:</p><p>These figures are single
service estimates and have been rounded to 10; numbers ending in "5" have
been rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias. This data considers
Field Army units only and is inclusive of military training and unit enabling activity.
The figures do not include those reservists that sit outside of the Field Army (for
example, Home Command). Nor do they differentiate between soldiers conducting military
training and those who can potentially consume more Reserve Service Days working within
a headquarters.</p>
