The results from the 2025 Reserves Continuous Attitude Survey (ResCAS) are published today (10th July). A detailed breakdown of the tri-service results can be found here.
The 2025 RAF ResCAS was issued to 4054 individuals. 1645 useable surveys were returned, giving an overall response rate of 41% an increase of 9% from 2024 (21% for Volunteer Reservists; 63% for Regular Reservists).
Speaking about the RAF’s ResCAS results, Deputy Chief of the Air Staff, AM Paul Lloyd said:
“I would like to thank everyone who completed this year’s ResCAS survey. As evidenced by the Strategic Defence Review, the role of Reserves in the UK Armed Forces has never been more important. That’s why ResCAS really does matter, and your candid responses ensured that the survey results truly reflect the views of the RAF Reserves….. I am committed to using your feedback to inform, develop and refine our Reserve policies, so that the RAF can provide a rewarding modern employment offer to you all…. There has never been any doubt in my mind that the RAF Reserves are a crucially important and integral part of our Whole Force and fundamental to our being always ready to fly and fight. Your dedication and loyalty is respected and appreciated by the RAF senior leadership team and we, the Government and the UK public are all immensely grateful for the contribution you make to UK Defence.”
HQ Air Occupational Psychology team would also like to thank those who took the time to complete the survey. The more responses we receive, the more robust the evidence will be to drive through the changes you want to see. Your views really do matter and will be used to inform our policies in the year to come.
