Adjutant General's Corps
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 70 of the Strategic Defence Review 2025, published on 8 July 2025, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of moving regular personnel from administrative to front-line roles on the number of roles in the Adjutant Generals’ Corps.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
The Adjutant General’s Corps (AGC) plays a critical role in delivering administrative, personnel, and support services, including policing, detention, education, and legal services.
In response to the Strategic Defence Review 2025, the Department has committed to optimising personnel allocation, including transitioning regular personnel from administrative to front-line roles where appropriate. An assessment of the potential impact of this commitment on the AGC is underway. Any changes to its structure will be carefully managed to maintain operational effectiveness and administrative efficiency. The AGC is engaging with Defence stakeholders to modernise processes, including digitisation and civilianisation of administrative tasks, enabling regular personnel to focus on front-line duties. Workforce requirements are under constant review to ensure the AGC continues to deliver its essential functions effectively.
Further updates will follow as the Strategic Defence Review is implemented.
