Dominican Republic military recruitment trends

Overview

Between 2024 and 2026, the Dominican Republic’s Army and Air Force evaluated 10,062 applicants for military service, resulting in 4,138 admissions. While the Army saw its highest number of evaluations in 2024 with 3,032 applicants, the total number of evaluations decreased to 1,492 in 2025.

Data regarding these recruitment processes highlights a significant gender disparity. Although women participate in recruitment, their admission rates remain low. In 2024, only 50 women were admitted out of 384 evaluated, accounting for approximately 3.2% of the Army’s total admissions. Preliminary 2025 data shows women represented roughly 6% of the 837 total admissions, with 50 women admitted out of 260 evaluated. Reports also noted a statistical inconsistency in the Army’s 2025 rejection data that requires clarification.
