Report Task Force on Women in the Military

Abstract

The Secretary of Defense established this Task Force as a direct result of continuing concerns raised by the DACOWITS about the full integration of women in the armed forces. The Secretary's direction was to address three primary topics: attitudes toward and treatment of women in military, and their impact on the morale and quality of life for women; consistency in application of combat exclusion statutes and policies, and their effective utilization of women; and the manner in which various force management policies may impact adversely on women's career development. Discussion and recommendations for action in response to that direction are contained in the report. Keywords: Military personnel, Women in the military, Department of Defense, Armed Forces, Sexual harassment, Career development, Combat exclusion, Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services, Education, Training, Equal opportunity, Assignments.
