Answer
- (i) See Appendix 1
(ii) The 8005 Army Establishment Table AF C8005 (2008) is a restricted document. However, Deputy Higgins can review it at the TA Centre, Mount Bingham should he wish.
- The number of permanent staff can be disclosed. As per a previous question from Deputy Higgins (30 June 2009) it is unchanged and is as follows:
Two (2) regular soldiers (3 if no TA OC available); two (2) non-regular permanent staff (NRPS) and four (4) States of Jersey civil servants. The Squadron uses the Transport and Technical Services Department to maintain all its vehicles and as such pays for a civilian TTS fitter as required.
