Emely Opio/Army)The Army is launching a new advisory team to analyze policy and other matters in an effort to boost recruitment, retention and more for women across the service.
The service’s “Women’s Initiatives Team” will focus on advising senior leaders on “policy, program, and resource changes to create opportunities for success in women’s recruitment, retention, readiness, and advancement across the Total Army,” according to a Dec. 20 release.
The team will report to the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, the release said. The Senate recently confirmed RAND think tank analyst Dr. Agnes Schaefer to fill the role, which had been vacant since January 2021.
