Women urged to join elite forces to get UK war-ready

As Lewis Denison explains, servicewomen are set to have their fitness, nutrition and recovery revolutionised under a world-first dedicated arduous training guide for women in the Armed Forces.

The handbook delivers the first Defence-specific guidance on female physiology in military training, drawing on a decade of research and lived experience.

The launch of the guide - intended for immediate use in training and preparation - will ensure women across all three Services have sex-specific guidance in training requirements, nutritional support, and health protection, helping to boost the UK’s warfighting readiness and effectiveness. #politics @itvnews
