June 27, 2011<\/p>\n

Despite the Department of Defense’s (DoD) official prohibition on women in combat roles, 111 female soldiers have died in Iraq and 28 have died in Afghanistan. Sixty percent of these deaths were due to hostile acts.<\/p>\n

About 200,000 women have served in Iraq or Afghanistan. Women make up 14.6 percent of active duty military. Women attack insurgents with strike fighters and helicopter gunships, machine guns and mortars, ride shotgun on convoys through IED (improvised explosive device) terrain and walk combat patrols with the infantry. Actually, DoD and the military services have difficulty defining what it is that women cannot volunteer to do. What makes the Iraq and Afghanistan “hostilities” different from other hostilities is that there are no clear front lines. Therefore, the line between a combat job and a support job is oftentimes blurred. The question that must be asked, why shouldn’t a woman be assigned a combat job if she is qualified and properly trained?<\/p>\n

As with the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” debate, opponents of allowing women to choose a combat job argue that the presence of women in small units that must operate for extended periods under fire, would be disruptive, or women would break the unit’s tight cohesion and cripple its fighting spirit. But research has not borne out the myths that women are too weak for combat, can harm a unit\u2019s cohesion, or are more prone to mental health disorders than men in combat.<\/p>\n

The Military Leadership Diversity Commission (MLDC) has the task of evaluating and assessing policies that provide opportunities for promotion and advancement of minority members of the armed forces, including women in combat roles. On March 15, 2011, the MLDC recommended that the prohibition on women serving in combat roles be removed. Although Congress repealed the combat exclusion laws in the January 1994 National Defense Authorization Act, the law still requires the services to submit proposed changes to existing assignment policy to Congress for review.<\/p>\n

The MDLC noted that the military is too male and too white. As for women in combat roles, the MLDC recommended that:<\/p>\n

DoD and the Services should eliminate the \u201ccombat exclusion policies\u201d for women, including the removal of barriers and inconsistencies, to create a level playing field for all qualified servicemembers. The Commission recommends a time-phased approach:<\/p>\n

–\u00a0 Women in career fields\/specialties currently open to them should be immediately able to be assigned to any unit that requires that career field\/specialty, consistent with the current operational environment.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0 DoD and the Services should take deliberate steps in a phased approach to open additional career fields and units involved in \u201cdirect ground combat\u201d to qualified women.<\/p>\n

– DoD and the Services should report to Congress the process and timeline for removing barriers that inhibit women from achieving senior leadership positions.<\/p>\n

The DoD is reviewing the MLDC’s recommendations.<\/p>\n

I note that New Zealand, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Israel, Serbia, Sweden and Switzerland allow women to serve in combat roles.<\/p>\n

Today, US military service is voluntary. Both men and women who join the military should be able to choose a combat job. The criteria for selection to a combat job should not be based on a person’s sex but whether the person is qualified, capable, competent, and able to perform the job. Nothing more, nothing less. When a woman is properly trained, she can be as tough as any man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
