Abstract: This fact sheet provides key figures and information to enhance understanding of the UK Armed Forces, based on data collected by the three Families Federations. We understand that many people are unfamiliar with the day to day details of military life, such as the roles of the single Services. To enhance your understanding of the Armed Forces, we have highlighted some key points that may be of interest to you as you develop your Corporate Covenant. The purpose of the Ministry of Defence and our Armed Forces is to defend the United Kingdom, and Overseas Territories, our people and interests; and act as a force for good by strengthening international peace and security
