When Women Lead Soldiers into Battle - theatlantic.com
Excerpt from this article:
"The ban on women in ground combat, which stood in some form ever
since women were first permanently integrated into the U.S. military in
1948, has been lifted
and all combat roles are now open to women. Since Defense Secretary Ash
Carter announced the new policy last December, the American military
has also seen women ascend to positions in its highest ranks: Air Force
General Lori Robinson became the country’s first female combatant
commander, and Admiral Michelle Howard became the first female four-star
admiral. It’s possible that a woman will soon, and for the first time,
become the commander-in-chief of America’s armed forces."
