Title:
Establishing Gender-Neutral Physical Standards for Ground Combat Occupations: Volume 1. A Review of Best-Practice Methods
Report Date:
2018-01-01
Abstract:
On January 24, 2013, the Secretary of Defense (SecDef) and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff announced rescission of the 1994 Direct Ground Combat Definition and Assignment Rule (SecDef, 1994) and the intention to "integrate women into occupational fields to the maximum extent possible" (U.S. Department of Defense [DoD], 2013). The rule restricted assignments of women to occupational specialties or positions in or collocated with direct ground combat units below the brigade level, in long-range reconnaissance and special operations forces, and in positions including physically demanding tasks the "vast majority" of women cannot do (SecDef, 1994).
