answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>The Armed Forces Continuous Attitude Survey is key to our understanding of how Service personnel feel about the issues which affect their lives. The results are used by the Defence Board and the Executive Committee of the Army Board to shape and improve evidence-based personnel policies.</p><p>44% of Officers and 39% of Other Ranks rate their own morale as high and this has been stable for personnel over recent years.
