The military authorities have advised that, as at 8th December 2021, the current strength of the Air Corps stood at 769 wholetime equivalent personnel.

The breakdowns requested are currently being compiled and will be provided to the Deputy as soon as it is available.

My focus remains on retaining/restoring all branches of the Defence Forces at their full capacity.
