Speaking about the RAF’s ResCAS results, Deputy Chief of the Air Staff, AM Paul Lloyd said:
“The 2026 Reserves Continuous Attitude Survey (ResCAS) provides an important insight into the experiences, views and priorities of our Volunteer and Regular Reserve personnel. It is an important tool that helps us shape policy, priorities, and future investment across the Reserve enterprise, so I would like to thank everyone who took the time to complete it. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us understand where we are performing well and, just as importantly, where we must improve. It will continue to inform meaningful and practical improvements across the RAF Reserves…..
Thank you for your continued service, your honesty in providing feedback and your dedication to delivering operational effect. We are listening, and we remain committed to building an even stronger and more engaged Reserve force for the future. There is no doubt that the RAF Reserves are a critical and integral element of our Whole Force, and the contribution you make to UK Defence is recognised and valued by RAF senior leadership.”
HQ Air Occupational Psychology team would like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who took the time to complete the survey this year. The more responses we receive the more robust the evidence will be to drive through the changes you want to see.
