- WOMEN IN COMBAT
- SERVICEWOMEN’S HEALTH
- MILITARY SEXUAL TRAUMA
For years servicewomen opposed combat restrictions imposed by our Armed Forces even though they frequently found themselves in combat during the early days of the Gulf War. That is, until our Defense Department lifted its ban against women participating in combat in 2015. American military women now perform all the tasks their male counterparts do, including operating radios, driving trucks, providing medical care and security, disposing of bombs and fighting the enemy. Some have also joined our special forces. More than 30 female Soldiers have joined the Army Rangers but the Navy SEALs have yet to have a woman join their ranks. At least 139 female soldiers have been killed, and more than 800 wounded on Iraq and Afghanistan battlefields since 9/11.
Proposed Legislation: S.1134 - A bill to express the sense of Congress on women in combat (109th Congress 2005-2006)
Prospective Sponsor: Sen. Elissa Slotkin (MI)

- I oppose reforming current women in combat policy and wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Leader John Thune (SD).
- I support expresses the sense of Congress that: 1.) Women play a critical role in accomplishing the mission of the Armed Forces. 2.) There should be no change to existing statutes, regulations, or policy that would have the effect of decreasing the roles or positions available to women in the Armed Forces. And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Sen. Elissa Slotkin (MI) and/or to an advocate group currently working with this issue.
