I wonder how much is being done by MoD/ Individual Services to look at other countries to see how they tackle balanced recruiting. Looking at the USAF (Inc Space Force) (2021 statistics) they seem to be have been good at recruiting black enlisted females and Asian female officers but not so good at recruiting black male officers.
