Abstract

The data collected by the 'Keeping Enough in Reserve' project comprises interviews (transcribed) and focus groups (transcribed), ethnographic notes, plus secondary data from sources already in the public domain.

This study asks key questions of the policy behind the Future Reserves 2020 programme, to understand what these changes will mean for the Armed Forces, reservists, and civilian employers. Research questions will include: (1) How will a ‘whole force’ structure affect the relationship between the Armed Forces and civilian society? (2) What does it mean to be both a soldier and a civilian? (3) How do employers view the ‘whole force’ structure changes, and how do they support (or not) employees who are in the reserves?
