Women Soldiers in Korea: Commanders' Viewpoints

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assist the Eighth United States Army (EUSA) in identifying problem areas associated with assignment of women soldiers to duty in the Republic of Korea in increasing numbers. The study was designed to aid the command in determining which problem areas are capable of being addressed by direct command action and which, more appropriately, through long- term education. The approach taken in this study can be described as a survey and analysis to determine unit commander's perceptions regarding the duty performance and effective utilization of women soldiers. The scope of the study encompassed whether assignment of women soldiers to Army units in Korea has influenced in any manner the individual unit commander's ability to develop unit readiness. In addition, unit commanders were asked to express an opinion as to the advisability of utilizing women soldiers in their respective units in time of war.
