Command Opportunity and Flag Grade for Women Line Officers.

Abstract

An analysis of current trends and attitudes within and outside the Navy which bears on the opportunities for women line officers to serve in command assignments and achieve flag grade. A general review is made of the history of the woman line officer in the Navy. The laws, regulations, policies and management practices which pertain to both men and women line officers are studied. Trends within society and the Navy indicate that the time is right to increase the opportunities for women to serve in more challenging and demanding billets. A comprehensive study is recommended to determine how women can best make a professional contribution to the Navy. Further, the screening of eligible women for command assignments and an annual review of eligible women captains to determine qualifications for flag grade are recommended. (Author)
