Establishing Gender-Neutral Physical Standards for Ground Combat Occupations: A Review of Best-Practice Methods. Volume 1. : RAND Corporation , 2018
From the preface: "Since the establishment of the all-volunteer force in 1973, representation of women in the U.S. military has increased to 15 percent, and an increasing number of military occupations have been opened to them. On January 24, 2013, the Secretary of Defense (SecDef) announced that the last remaining policy restricting the service of women, the direct ground combat exclusion rule, would be rescinded. Women will be allowed to serve in any occupation and assignment for which they can meet the occupational standards. The SecDef also directed the military services to validate their occupational standards to ensure they appropriately reflect occupational requirements and are gender neutral."
