Military Women Should Be Allowed to Serve in All Units and Occupations for Which They Qualify

Service women have proven their value and valor under fire in our operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is time to update the policies governing women’s military utilization so that they, as with the policies governing men’s utilization, are based on national security needs and women’s field-proven capabilities. This will allow current and future commanders the widest possible latitude to employ all their personnel as the mission dictates without artificial limitations.
