Note:
1. Non Christain includes Agnostics, Atheists, Humanists and those of "No Religion".
2.The figures are for trained Regular Soldiers only and therefore exclude Gurkhas, Full Time Reserve 
Service, Mobilised Reserves, TA and all other Reserves, but includes those personnel that have 
transferred from GURTAM to UKTAP.
3.Due to the ongoing validation of the new Personnel Administration System all Army data from 1 April 
2007 are provisional and subject to review. “p” denotes provisional.
4.Figures have been rounded to 10; numbers ending in "5" have been rounded to the nearest multiple of 
20 to prevent systematic bias. Totals and sub-totals have been rounded separately and so may not 
appear to be the sum of their parts. Actual figures are used in the calculation of percentages.
