The hon. Member\u2019s Question has been interpreted to mean the number of UK Armed Forces Personnel at the unit. As at 1 January 2024, the number of UK Armed Forces Service personnel stationed at RAF Fairford was less than or equal to 5.<\/p>

<\/p>

Please note, UK Forces Service Personnel comprises UK Regular Forces, Gurkhas, Military Provost Guard Service (MPGS), Locally Engaged Personnel, Volunteer Reserve, Serving Regular Reserve, Sponsored Reserve, and Full-Time Reserve Service (FTRS) of unknown origin. University Air Squadron Officer Cadets are excluded. The figure includes trained and untrained personnel.<\/p>

<\/p>

The figure includes Reserve personnel and is therefore an estimate because the stationed location data for Reserves has not been fully verified.<\/p>
