position where we could have 60 or 70 percent women in a particular Job Spe Fialty if 25 percent of our total Force was made up of if 60 or 70 percent of a Given Field was populated by we might not have enough people available to fulfil our combat we will try to get a balance of women into specialities All across the we will have to encourage More women to enter what have been regarded As non
