The Lt rank is still oversubscribed despite significant reductions since 2012. However if they filled the Capt vacancies that would go to reducing this. Also given the reluctance on behalf of the Mil Authorities to enforce non-effectiveness and retirement I would question these numbers. Remember that the non-effective strength is counted in the overall numbers.
