Information on the number of personnel who have left the armed forces to join private military companies is not held centrally. Total outflow and voluntary exit rates from the trained strength, broken down by Officers and Other Ranks, can be found in Tri-Service Publication (TSP) 5—‘Trained Outflow to Civil Life’. Monthly figures show the number of personnel who have outflowed in the previous 12 month period. TSP 5 is published monthly and all publications can be found at:
