Pentagon opens all combat jobs to women after review
Defense Secretary Ash Carter orders the military to remove barriers and open about 220000 remaining jobs to women including special operations. He says standards must be met, plans due in 30 days, and notes no overnight implementation though the move strengthens the force. Tammy Duckworth, among early advocates, welcomes the decision.
