If granted, Flexible Service will provide astrong degree of certainty for people to allow them to plan their lives, and this will be great for families, but the Service will be able to cancel or suspend Flexible Service arrangements if necessary where circumstances have fundamentally changed, for instance a national emergency.
What does Flexible Service mean for those that don’t take it?
This is avery significant change in the way that people can serve in the Armed Forces, which is why it requires the law to be changed. We know that some people are concerned about how it might impact on operational capability or on their workload if someone else on their team works part time.

For example, we know that the Services expect to create new part-time Reserves roles to undertake some of the work.
