Reserves Continuous Attitude Survey 2024 - results published

Findings from the Reserves Continuous Attitude Survey (ResCAS 2024) have been published on GOV.UK: ResCAS 2024 publication.

What is RESCAS? 

ResCAS is MOD’s annual survey which gathers information on the attitudes and experiences of Volunteer Reservists across the Tri-Services.

2024 Survey Results

This year, a total of 4,656 Reservists completed ResCAS.

The survey found 70% of Volunteer Reserves are satisfied with life in the Reserve in general, and 89% are proud to serve in the Service. Satisfaction with pay was 43% and the annual bounty was 63%. Overall, there has been a decreasing trend in satisfaction with pay and the annual bounty since 2021.

The top 3 reasons cited by Reservists for joining the Reserve Service were; to serve their country (64%), for the challenge (59%), and for personal development (58%).

For further results, please see the publication report: ResCAS 2024 publication.

These include perceptions on training, life in the Reserves, career progression and family support.   Queries can be sent to: people-strat-cdpregroup@mod.gov.uk
