Pentagon Reviews Women in Ground Combat Roles
Published 1 week ago
Description
The Pentagon initiates a six-month review to assess the performance of women in ground combat roles, following the 2015 decision to open up infantry, armor, and artillery jobs to them. The review, led by Undersecretary Anthony Tata, focuses on operational effectiveness, readiness, training, performance, injuries, and command climate. The debate over women in combat has been contentious, with studies suggesting mixed-gender units may not perform as well as all-male ones. The review aims to maintain elite, sex-neutral combat standards, ensuring the U.S. military remains the worlds deadliest force.
