Proxmire pushes expansion of women’s military roles
Sen. William Proxmire proposes an amendment to the 1978 military procurement bill to allow women in non combat posts such as missile launch control, hospital ship and transport ship duty, arguing current limits hinder promotion and amount to discrimination. The plan targets jobs beyond combat restrictions, including permanent duty assignments on non combat naval ships and ships unlikely to see combat missions.
