Notes:
1. Figures from April 2016 are estimates, calculated using 1 April 2015 information, of the future trained regular strength of RNP. Estimates are re-calculated annually using the latest information and therefore may change in future years.
2. All totals are rounded in accordance with the Defence Statistics rounding policy. All numbers are rounded to the nearest 10 with numbers ending in five rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to avoid bias.
The RNP does not currently recruit from direct entrants; personnel transfer from within the Naval Service. There is a future programme to recruit from a mixture of internal moves and direct entrants; however, it is not possible at present to supply forecast figures for this.
