Contingent strengths are reported annually. This means that contingents that have opened since 1 April 2000 have no strength recorded in this table.

Funding for the CCF is provided through single service budget holders. During the financial year 1999–2000 over £7 million was spent in direct support of the CCF. This does not, however, represent the total cost to the MoD. There are a number of costs that cannot be separately identified, associated with accommodation, equipment, the running and maintenance of CCF camps and training activities.
