</p><ol start="3"><li>Regular Non-Ground Closed Combat (GCC) figures for 2021 – Role
Fitness testing (RFT(S)) did not start until Sep 2021 and therefore fewer Regular
Army personnel will have been tested.</li></ol><p> </p><ol start="4"><li>Reserve Non-GCC
for 2021 – RFT(S) testing did not start until Apr 2022 and therefore Non-GCC figures
should not contain results for the Army Reserve.</li></ol><p> </p><ol start="5"><li>Figures
represent Regular and Reserve Army personnel.</li></ol><p> </p><ol start="6"><li>Percentages
have been rounded to the nearest whole number.</li></ol><p> </p><ol start="7"><li>All
Army personnel are included irrespective of the Top Level Budget (TLB) that they are

and the Infantry.</li></ol><p> </p><ol start="9"><li>Year is based on calendar year.</li></ol><p>
</p><ol><li>The Role Fitness Test can only be broken down by ‘Pass’ or ‘Fail’. The
system includes categories of ‘N/A’ and ‘Exempt’ in the ‘Passed’ Figure. This cannot
be broken down further without incurring disproportionate cost.</li></ol><p> </p><ol><li>An
individual will be exempt if they meet the exemption policy for RFT(S), which is that
they have a medical condition precluding them from attempting the test.</li></ol><p>
</p><ol start="2"><li>A ‘N/A’ marker for individuals is applied when they are out
of scope for RFT(S) testing. This will include those in a non-deployable HQ role,
Military Provost Guard Service (MPGS), staff at a University Officer Training Corps
(UOTC), Elite and Professional Athletes, and Reservists on specific contracts that
do not require completion of the Individual Training Requirement.</li></ol><p> </p><p>
