Jane!  The Military Now Welcomes You to Fill Combat Roles\">CNN reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced this week that all branches of the military would now open some 200,000 combat positions to women, including elite fighting forces like the Navy SEALS. This decision comes after the\u00a0recent graduation of two females from the U.S. Army\u2019s Ranger School earlier this year. The women could not apply to the 75th Ranger Regiment until now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means that as long as they qualify and meet the standards, women will now be able to contribute to our mission in ways they could not before. They&#8217;ll be able to drive tanks, give orders, lead infantry soldiers into combat,\u201d Carter said at a news conference Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be no exceptions,\u201d Carter added.<\/p>\n<p>However, not all leadership at the Pentagon agrees with the decision. Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has been a strong proponent of limiting the combat roles of women.<\/p>\n<p>Dunford was pointedly not at the press conference, stating he was \u201cnot comfortable\u201d sharing a stage with Carter to just be a \u201cpotted plant,\u201d according to a senior Obama official.<\/p>\n<p>The Marine general instead released a statement neither praising the decision nor condemning it, saying, \u201cIn the wake of the secretary&#8217;s decision, my responsibility is to ensure his decision is properly implemented.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoving forward,&#8221; Dunford continued, \u201cmy focus is to lead the full integration of women in a manner that maintains our joint warfighting capability, ensures the health and welfare of our people, and optimizes how we leverage talent across the Joint Force.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dunford is well justified in his position, as a yearlong Marine study found that all-male squads performed better than mixed groups in 69 percent of the tasks evaluated, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/thetwo-way\/2015\/09\/10\/439190586\/marine-corps-study-finds-all-male-combat-units-faster-than-mixed-units\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hooah-g-i-jane-the-military-now-welcomes-you-to-fill-combat-roles\" title=\"Hooah G.I. Jane!

But that won\u2019t deter \u2018progress.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In a statement after the press conference, President Obama likened the decision to the desegregation of the military and the more recent repeal of the \u2018Don&#8217;t Ask, Don&#8217;t Tell\u2019 policy allowing inclusion of openly gay and lesbian service members, saying these decisions \u201cmade our military stronger,\u201d reports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/thetwo-way\/2015\/12\/03\/458319524\/pentagon-will-allow-women-in-frontline-ground-combat-positions\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hooah-g-i-jane-the-military-now-welcomes-you-to-fill-combat-roles\" title=\"Hooah G.I. Jane!  The Military Now Welcomes You to Fill Combat Roles\">NPR<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Commander in Chief, I know that this change, like others before it, will again make our military even stronger,\u201d said the president. \u201cOur armed forces will draw on an even wider pool of talent. Women who can meet the high standards required will have new opportunities to serve.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know that, under the leadership of Secretary Carter and Chairman Dunford, our men and women in uniform will implement this transition \u2014 as they have others \u2014 in a responsible manner that maintains military readiness and the unparalleled professionalism and strength of our armed forces,&#8221; Obama continued. &#8220;Together, we&#8217;re going to make sure our military remains the finest fighting force in the history of the world, worthy of all our patriots who serve \u2014 men and women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Defense Secretary Carter stresses that women\u2019s role in combat will be contingent on their ability to meet the qualifications, and those deemed fit may be assigned combat roles regardless of their desire to fill them.<\/p>\n<p>The process of integrating women into combat roles must begin in the next 30 days, he says.<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree with President Obama that this is just the next logical step to equality, or does putting women in combat positions only weaken our military?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Military is going to allow women to fill all combat positions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":48776,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,25,243,216,240],"tags":[132,335],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-48775","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-military","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-military"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hooah G.I.
