The Pentagon will undergo a review of women in ground combat roles, aiming to ensure what it calls military “effectiveness,” amid ongoing anti-DEI efforts within the armed forces.
Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel Anthony Tata wrote in a memo last month that the six-month review will ascertain the “operational effectiveness of ground combat units 10 years after the Department lifted all remaining restrictions on women serving in combat roles,” NPR reported, after obtaining the memo.
