<p>As at 1 January 2024, there were 950 UK Armed Forces Service Personnel stationed
at Woolwich. The number of personnel stationed there is not estimated to change significantly
over the next five years; however, numbers will fluctuate in line with operational
deployments and other routine commitments.</p><p> </p><p>Please note the following
caveats:</p><p> </p><ol><li>The number of UK Armed Forces Service Personnel stationed
at Woolwich can only be provided as at 1 January 2024 in line with Published National
Statistics.</li><li>This figure comprises UK Regular Forces, Gurkhas, Military Provost
Guard Service (MPGS), Locally Engaged Personnel (LEP), Volunteer Reserve, Serving
Regular Reserve, Sponsored Reserve and Full Time Reserve Service (FTRS) of unknown
origin. University Officer Cadets are excluded. The figure includes both trained and
untrained personnel.</li><li>The figure is based on Service personnel’s stationed
location and not their location of residence – where personnel work is not necessarily
where they live. Personnel deployed on operations to an area away from their stationed
location are shown against their most recent stationed location.</li><li>Figures containing
Reserve personnel are estimates because the station location data for Reserves has
not been fully verified.</li><li>The figure has been rounded to the nearest 10 to
prevent inadvertent disclosure of personal identities. However, numbers ending in
“5” have been rounded to the nearest 20 to prevent systematic bias.</li></ol><p> </p><p>
