RAF Boulmer HIVE

The 2026 Armed Forces Continuous Attitude Survey (AFCAS) results are published on 28 May. You can read the Tri-Service full report on the Government website https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/armed-forces-continuous-attitude-survey-index If you have access to MODNET, the RAF report can be viewed on HQ Air Occupational Psychology sharepoint site.

AFCAS measures how military personnel feel about life in the Armed Forces. It offers vital insight for policy makers in Defence, including those responsible for things like the Armed Forces’ Covenant.

7618 responses were received in 2026, representing a Tri-Service response rate of 24%. The RAF response rate was 31%.

Speaking about the RAF’s results, Deputy Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Paul Lloyd said:

“I would like to thank everyone who completed the survey this year. The AFCAS serves a vital role in providing your views and experiences to support identification and delivery of actions aimed at improving Service life. I am pleased to see that changes compared to last year are generally positive and that people engagement has significantly increased, I acknowledge however there remain areas of dissatisfaction. Aligning with CASs People Directive, we are combining insights from AFCAS and multiple sources of evidence to understand where improvement is needed and how we can meet these needs.”
