Notes:
1. The term premature voluntary release has been changed to voluntary outflow (VO), although the methodology remains the same.
2. VO is defined as all exits from trained personnel which are generated by the individual before their time expiry.
3. The figures are based on all voluntary outflow from the Trained strength of the UK Regular Army.
4. Figures exclude officers in the general staff (i.e. those with a rank of Colonel and above).
5. All data have been rounded to the nearest 10. Due to the rounding methods used, totals may not always equal the sum of the parts. Numbers ending in “5” have been rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias.
