The US Army is considering a reversal of its new gender-neutral physical test to instead include different evaluation categories for men and women.

Research showed that the Army Combat Fitness Test [ACFT], which is the same for male and female soldiers, was leading to lower results for women with a knock-on effect for promotions.

An early Pentagon study showed that women were failing the ACFT at a rate of 65 per cent, while only 10 percent of men did.

I think it's a great idea to have people who are totally qualified for a position to be led by someone not as qualified.  It's really great for morale to have PC, not qualifications, be a decider on promotions.
