The United Kingdom aims to increase the size of ‍the army to at least ⁠76,000 full-time soldiers during the next parliament, which is likely to begin in 2029, as this is when funding is likely to allow expansion. For now, the country is focused on retaining staff and modernising the service. It has no plans to introduce conscription.
