These include the new Your Army marketing campaign, measures to reduce the time between applicants applying and starting training, greater access to military role models for applicants during the process and a new IT system which is providing enhanced management data.</p><p>Regular soldier applications are at a five-year high, and while it is premature to assess the success of the current 'Your Army' campaign, early indications are of a strong start in attracting candidates to join the Army, with over 10,000 applicants to join the Regular Army in January. It will take longer to see increases in trained strength due to the length of the recruitment and training pipelines.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 19/02/2019 16:15:03 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
