The numbers of service personnel deployed to field hospitals is shown in the following table:
Operation Herrick Total personnel of which reservists as a percentage April to October 2009 136 109 80 October 2009 to April 2010 283, 151 53
It should be noted that reservists deploy for periods of three months rather than six months for regular armed forces personnel. As such, the reservists figures look artificially high because they reflect two three-month deployments rather than one six-month deployment.
