The early estimates were about 11,00 over 4 years (up to & including 2014) with the end of the mission in Afghanistan ? But it appears far more have applied for the redundancy package than they at first thought. I suppose it's to be expected better to jump before you're pushed & come away with something rather than nothing. The biggest impact will be on the Gurkha Battalions from the Infantry view point, but a lot of snedding will happen within the support Corps (RLC).
