Military Women: Their Future Roles in Combat.

Abstract

As plans are prepared for military forces of the twenty-first century, the United States continues to populate its principal fighting forces with men, thereby limiting utilization of talented female personnel and narrowing its service pool. This study reviews the recent history of women's roles, both military and civilian, and identifies current U.S. Army specialties available to men only. Justifications for continued exclusion of women are analyzed. More equitable means of selecting both male and female personnel for combat roles are recommended.
