“UK Army Is Wokeism Gone Mad“ | Diversity And Inclusion Recruitment

The British Army is considering relaxing security checks for recruits from overseas to enhance diversity and inclusion. Facing challenges in meeting recruitment targets, the armed forces are seeking to increase ethnic minority representation, which currently stands at 14% of the regular army. A leaked document titled “The British Army’s Race Action Plan,“ published in March 2023, outlines efforts to address the underrepresentation of individuals from ethnic minority backgrounds in the officer corps. The plan acknowledges that security clearance vetting is a significant barrier for non-UK personnel seeking commissions in the Army, particularly for roles in intelligence and officer positions with “uncontrolled access to secret assets.“ To boost representation, the plan aims to “challenge security clearance requirements.“ While individuals from Commonwealth countries can already serve in the British Army, the plan highlights that only 131 non-UK regular officers are currently serving, with 28 recorded as ethnic minorities, while the majority are white Irish or white Commonwealth.
