Women in the Military Still Concentrated in Admin and Medical Jobs
GAO study shows by December 1974 nearly 22,000 Army women, about 9,000 Navy women, and nearly 14,000 Air Force women worked in administrative or medical positions. The report cites recruiter messaging and women’s self selection as factors, notes combat restrictions, and calls for new standards to assess capabilities across services. Navy and Air Force limit assignments to non combat roles. Army and Marine Corps lack formal prohibitions.
