WASHINGTON -- The Marine Corps' first female armor officer will soon report to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, where she will become the first woman to lead a Marine tank platoon.
On Wednesday, 2nd Lt. Lillian R. Polatchek graduated from the Army-led Basic Armor Officer Leaders Course at Fort Benning, Georgia, said Marine Capt. Joshua Pena, a spokesman for Marine Training and Education Command. Polatchek was the top graduate in the class of 67 soldiers and Marines.
