Marines recruit women from girls high school teams for frontline roles
Marine recruiters shift to targeting girls in high school sports to meet rigorous standards for front line combat jobs. Gen. Robert Neller aims for women to reach 10 percent of the force, up from 7.9 percent, and Maj. Gen. Paul Kennedy leads aggressive outreach, including targeted mailings and revamped ads. Kennedy expects to reach about 3,400 women recruits annually to hit the 10 percent goal.
