It’s imperative to adopt American military policies that create the strongest and most powerful forces in the world.
Fact-based impartial research not biased emotional responses should be the foundation of military decision-making. Women should be included in any military job for which they can meet the same merit-based standards required of men.
In a Defense Department document from 1998, leadership indicated there were no plans to consider ground combat for women. Yet there were experiments underway that same year to test integration of women in Marine Corps combat ranks through training in the Camp LeJeune area.
Restoration News interviewed a retired Marine infantry officer with firsthand knowledge of early experimentation with integrated male-female combat training.
