The Armed Forces recruit nationally and do not operate a specific policy of increasing recruitment from particular geographic areas. Armed Forces Careers Offices and wider recruiting staff are spread across the UK and are complemented by dedicated call centres and online recruiting operations, ensuring that all communities have the same recruitment opportunities.
