The original question, though, asks about non-military locations. Arguably all HQ locations have and always will have a military element. The key question, perhaps, should be how many Mil staff are on tasks previously performed by Civilians or are otherwise not core Military. For example, many Naval appointments in DE&S are to Posts previously filled by Civilians in DG Ships and DGST(N). Another point to note is on Page 2 of the QLS;
I mention that because some RFA staff are now fulfilling functions previously undertaken by Civil Servants and are destined to take on even more.
