More women are joining the U.S. military but the individual services must do more to continue the trend and ensure they stay in uniform, according to the Government Accountability Office.
The share of women in the armed forces grew from 15.1% in 2004 to 16.5% in 2018, with the Navy seeing the largest increase over 15 years. The Air Force consistently has had the highest percentage of women serving -- nearly a fifth of the entire service -- since 2004, while the Army and Marine Corps are at or below the total force percentage.
