Use of Women in the Military.

Abstract

An analysis of military manpower utilization was undertaken to gather and analyze data on the use of enlisted women serving on active duty in the military. The following are among the study's findings: The number of enlisted women on active duty more than tripled from 1971 through 1976; Active duty women are being promoted the same as, or at higher rates than, men in all occupations open to women; Women on active duty are retained at about the same overall rates as men, although they have higher loss rates in non-traditional occupations; The Services have made significant progress in expanding the use of women in non-traditional skills; and although the Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps are planning significant increases in the number of enlisted women on active duty in the 1978 to 1982 period, the Army's current plan calls for no growth in enlisted women after 1979.
