A search for the information has now been completed within the Ministry of Defence, and I can confirm that the information in scope of your request is held and can be found in the table below. Please note that data provided is as of 1st April 2019, with Section 44 (Prohibitions on disclosure) applied in order to comply with The Pre-release Access to Official Statistics Order 2008. The data provided is also subject to Section 40 (Personal Data) of the Freedom of Information Act.

Notes/Caveats to all Tables: 1. All Officers with a Paid Rank of Colonel or above are included in the Staff Strength. 2. “~” represents fewer than 10 people, including zero. 3. Figures are for Trade Trained personnel only, there are others that at the time were within the training pipeline who are not included within the above data. 4. The military decided to open up all roles to women in a phased approach over three years, starting with the Royal Armoured Corps in November 2016. Since December 2018 women could transfer into the infantry and apply to join the infantry and the Royal Marines. Training courses for new recruits started in spring 2019 and the first will have finished training October/November.

Summary At various points throughout their history, towns such as Folkestone, Hythe and Lydd have played an important military role and become major garrison towns. Large numbers of soldiers, officers and military families have been accommodated in various barrack accommodation within camps such as Shorncliffe and Sandling, or billeted across the local towns and villages. Training grounds and ranges have developed which have served important purposes in the training of troops and officers for the war effort and in the defence of this country. Together they are an important collection of assets relating to the defensive heritage of the District and in many cases, continue to illustrate the historical role that many towns played when the district was again physically and symbolically placed on the front-line during times of war and unrest.
