The Regiment and role of an Army applicant will only be determined once they have successfully completed the applicant selection process and prior to basic training. For officer applicants, Regiment and role is determined during officer cadet training. Applicants can however express preferences for their Regiment or role within their application. Since the announcement on 25 October 2018, 110 female soldier applicants and five female officer applicants have identified the infantry as one of their preferences.<\/p>

<\/p>

Less than five serving Regular female soldiers have applied to transfer into the infantry to date.<\/p>

<\/p>

By making all branches and trades of the military open to everyone, regardless of their gender, the Armed Forces is demonstrating its commitment to equality and diversity and seeking to maximise the talent of all personnel.<\/p>
