The latest manning figures for the Volunteer Reserves (VRs) are as follows:
Number Royal Naval Reserve 2,220 Royal Marine Reserve 820 Territorial Army 30,000 Royal Auxiliary Air Force 1,280 Note: Numbers are rounded to the nearest 10
The overall proportion of VRs who have seen active service in Iraq or Afghanistan is not available, and the steady turnover of the Reserves would render such a figure relatively meaningless, but over 17,000 VRs have been mobilised in support of operations since 2003.
Since 2006, over 2,160 VRs have served in Iraq, and over 2,010 in Afghanistan.
