Based on consultation feedback, a number of changes were made to the publication, including a name change to better reflect the publication’s content. An internal review was held during March 2016, followed by a six-week public consultation. Prior to 2016, equipment and formations statistics were published in the National Statistics publication Formations, Vessels and Aircraft. Statistics are also provided on militarily-useful British-registered vessels (including passenger, tanker and fishing vessels). Equipment and formations statistics have been presented based on the UK armed forces areas: maritime, land and air. This is an annual publication which provides information on the numbers and types of equipment and formations of the UK armed forces.
