Book excerpt: Military women are performing their duty requirements with the same professional competence displayed by military men. Although this has been widely recognized for many years, only within the past decade have women been permanently integrated within the active/reserve personnel inventories. The catalysts which motivated integration and expansion of the role of women in the military exist in law. The passage of Public Law 90-130, which repealed the ceiling on women, the creation of the all-volunteer forces, and the enactment of the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act (DOPMA), which repealed long standing provisions of law containing unwarranted distinctions with respect to Defense policy on the utilization of women in military service. This policy, restated by the Secretary of Defense in a memorandum to Secretaries of the Military Departments, dated July 19, 1983, calls for full utilization of women consistent with existing combat exclusion laws and related policy.

Book excerpt: Military women are performing their duty requirements with the same professional competence displayed by military men. Although this has been widely recognized for many years, only within the past decade have women been permanently integrated within the active/reserve component personnel inventories. The passage of Public Law 90-130, which repealed the ceiling on women, the creation of the all-volunteer forces, and the enactment of the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act (DOPMA), which repealed long standing provisions of law containing unwarranted distinctions with respect to women officers, fostered current Department of Defense policy on the utilization of women in military service. The differences among the Components reflect the impact of combat exclusion restrictions and the differing component missions. As can be seen, skills open to women range from approximately 98 percent for the Air Force to 80 percent in the Marine Corps. Actual positions open to women range from more than 95 percent in the Air Force to only 20 percent in the Marine Corps. In the Army and Navy women may be assigned to approximately 90 percent of the skills and more than half of the positions in those Components. For the total Department of Defense, almost 88 percent of the skills and more than 61 percent of the positions are open to women.

Download or read book Gender Camouflage written by Francine J. D'Amico and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1999-03 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controversy about women in the military continues, yet women's relations with the military go far beyond whether they serve in the ranks. Gender Camouflage brings together a diverse array of authors to explore the controversy surrounding women's military service, to examine the invisibility of civilian women who support the institution, and to expose the military's efforts to camouflage their support and contributions. Contributors first consider nurses, servicewomen, military academy students, female veterans, and lesbians. The focus then shifts to military wives, women employed by the DoD, and female civilian military instructors whose work is less visible but no less essential to the institution. The book also examines the experiences of women outside of the military, such as "comfort women" near U.S. bases, women engaged in peacework, and women workers affected by military spending in the federal budget. Analytic chapters are juxtaposed with first-person narratives by women who have actually been there, including a member of the first gender-integrated class at West Point, the first female civilian instructors at the U.S. Naval Academy, and an African American Air Force Nurse Corps veteran. Contributors include Connie Reeves, Georgia Clark Sadler, Gwyn Kirk, and Joan Furey.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this publication is to provide current data on the status of women in all components of the Armed Forces. As shown on the adjacent charts, National Guard and Reserve women now comprise over 37 percent of the total women in the military. Military women are performing their duty requirements with the same professional competence displayed by military men. Although this has been widely recognized for many years, only within the past decade have women been permanently integrated within the active/reserve personnel inventories. The catalysts which motivated integration and expansion of the role of women in the military exist in law. The passage of Public Law 90- 130, which repealed the ceiling on women, the creation of the all-volunteer forces, and the enactment of the Defense Personnel Management Act (DOPMA), which repealed long standing provisions of law containing unwarranted distinctions with respect to Defense policy on the utilization of women in military service. The current laws which restrict the assignment of women in the Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force, and their reserve components, were enacted in 1948 when the women's auxiliary components were made part of the permanent military structure. Under these statutes, women in the Navy, Marine Corps, Naval Reserve and Marine Corps Reserve may not be assigned to duty on ships or in aircraft that are engaged in combat missions, nor may they be assigned to other than temporary duty on vessels for the Navy except hospital ships, transports, and vessels of similar classification not expected to be assigned to combat missions.

Download or read book Women in Combat written by Congressional Research Service and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades of conflict, women have served with valor and continue to serve on combat aircraft, naval vessels, and in support of ground combat operations. The expansion of roles for women in the Armed Forces has evolved since the early days of the military when women were restricted by law and policy from serving in certain occupations and units. Women have not been precluded by law from serving in any military unit or occupational specialty since 1993 when Congress repealed the remaining prohibitions on women serving on combatant aircraft and vessels. However, Department of Defense (DOD) policies have prevented women from being assigned to units below brigade level where the unit's primary mission was to engage directly in ground combat. This policy barred women from serving in infantry, artillery, armor, combat engineers, and special operations units of battalion size or smaller. On January 24, 2013, then-Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta rescinded the rule that restricted women from serving in combat units and directed the military departments and services to review their occupational standards and assignment policies and to make recommendations for opening all combat roles to women no later than January 1, 2016. On December 3, 2015, Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter ordered the military to open all combat jobs to women with no exceptions. This most recent policy change followed extensive studies that were completed by the military departments and by the Special Operations Command (SOCOM) on issues such as unit cohesion, women's health, equipment, facilities modifications, propensity to serve, and international experiences with women in combat. These studies also included a review and validation of gender-neutral occupational standards for combat roles where such standards existed. On March 10, 2016, Secretary Carter announced that the Services' and SOCOM's implementation plans for the integration of women into direct ground combat roles were approved. Some concerns about the implementation of the new policy remain, including the recruitment, assignment, and career management of women into the new roles, and the impact of integration on unit readiness. Congress has oversight authority in these matters, and may also consider issues such as equal opportunity, equal responsibility (such as selective service registration), and the overall manpower needs of the military.
