"And our goal is to find ways to make men and women train and work better together," Cohen said Monday. Men and women will continue to train together in the Navy and Air Force and in most Army units. Only the Marine Corps will maintain its separate boot camps under the plan. Cohen ordered the service chiefs to make sure the safety and privacy of men and women be guaranteed on separate floors or in separate areas of barracks. Cohen noted that the House recently voted to house men and women in separate barracks throughout their training, but that the Senate had not approved such a move and he felt that tightly policing the separation of young recruits in common barracks was sufficient. In December, a panel headed by former Sen. Nancy Kassebaum Baker also recommended separate basic training for men and women. The panel was named during last year's Army scandal involving sexual harassment and even rape of female recruits by male drill sergeants.

They've been captured as prisoners of war, killed by enemy fire and buried as heroes in Arlington National Cemetery. American women have participated more extensively in combat in Iraq than in any previous war in U.S. history. They've taken roles nearly inconceivable just a decade or two ago flying fighter jets and attack helicopters, patrolling streets armed with machine guns and commanding units of mostly male soldiers. Seven have been killed in combat.

185. Women In The Civil War A history of women in the military from the Revolutionary War to present day. Includes extensive information for military women, past and present. http://userpages.aug.com/captbarb/femvets2.html

Women Were There The War Between the States was also a war between brothers, cousins, friends and neighbors - and some of them were women. We know from certain military records, antique books, and lately some newer books, that women served as nurses, vivandieres, sutlers, and as Union and Confederate soldiers, and even spies. A vivandiere, by the way, is a French army term applied to women who provided food, provisions, and liqueurs to soldiers. For more about them please visit History of Vivandieres. Sutlers were peddlers who sold goods to military units in the field. One woman served without pay as a physician, acted as a spy, and was a prisoner of war. Dr. Mary Walker Many stories have been written about unique Civil War women, including Sarah Emma Edmonds, alias Franklin Thompson. In Nurse and Spy in the Union Army, 1865, which is subtitled The Adventures and Experiences of a Woman in Hospitals, Camps, and Battle-Fields, the author chronicles her adventures and escapades as she gathers information and nurses the wounded. Some say that this book is a mix of fantasy and fiction. The original is in my personal collection and it is a delightful book to read. Historians have verified that Emma Edmonds, as Franklin Thompson, did serve in the units she mentioned at the times she said. Sarah Emma Edmonds Another fairly well known story is that of Jennie Hodgers who served and fought for three years as Albert Cashier.

186. Women's History Month Homepage Tells the stories of women who have willingly responded to their country s call in war and peace. From the US Department of Defense. http://www.defenselink.mil/specials/womenhist2002/

From the days of the American Revolution to the conflict in the Persian Gulf and today, throughout the World, American women have and are honorably serving in defense of our Nation. In times of war and peace, women have willingly responded to their country's call. Their contributions are characterized by individual and collective acts of self-sacrifice, patriotism, dedication and personal heroism. Yet, how many of us are familiar with their contributions, adversities and struggles? How many of us are aware that women were present on the battlefields of the Great War, in the mud at Anzio and at the fall of Bataan? Full Story. Last Updated July 19, 2002

A WASP Among Eagles: A Woman Military Test Pilot in World War II by Ann Baumgartner Carl Chapter 5: WASPS In 1941, like a virulent disease, the war spread throughout Europe. Hitler's armies moved into Denmark and Norway, Yugoslavia and North Africa. U-boat attacks and bombings of England continued, but perhaps because the United States Congress on March 11 finally passed the Lend-Lease Bill, and destroyers and planes began to give support to Britain, Hitler decided to invade Russia. It was said that he believed the war in Russia would only take three months, and then he could concentrate on absorbing England. Several other theories exist on why Hitler postponed a final attack on England. One, according to William Stephenson (A Man Called Intrepid) is that an astrologer trained by British Intelligence was able to convince Hitler it was not the time to defeat England. Another, according to writer John Toland and others, is that Hitler believed the German and the English were of similar stock and should unite rather than fight, and that Rudolf Hess, flying solo to Scotland, was actually Hitler's emissary for peace. (Long before he wrote his biography of Hitler, I met Toland on the train I was taking to Houston to join the WASPs. He argued that a writer should keep himself free to write the story of the war, not fight in it.) At any rate, Russia was important to Hitler as it would provide the Lebensraum he sought for Germany. And on June 22, the world saw Hitler's armies -ignoring the treaty with Stalin-start an advance that in only a month reached Smolensk, just 200 miles from Moscow.

Video Interviews Fort Des Moines: Basic Training Handbook Photo Publication Skip Neal Illustrations Documents: Official Newspaper Clippings Site Map Women in the Military Motor Pool and Transport WACs By the time World War II began, women had already established a respectable record of military service. Congress established the Army Nurse Corps in 1901 and the Navy Nurse Corps in 1908. Nursing paved the way for women in the military, where they held the insignia of rank, yet lacked full military status. In World War I, approximately 34,000 women served as nurses in the various branches, and in 1917, in an unprecedented move, the Navy Department authorized women to be in the Naval Reserve. The overwhelming sentiment in the War Department was that women should not be in the military, consequently, since they controlled the Army, women would not make comparable advances into that branch of service. With the outbreak of World War II, the government and military were slow to recognize the potential value of women in the armed forces. The incentive to create a Women's Auxiliary Army Corps came from Massachusetts Congressional Representative Edith Nourse Rogers, who introduced the WAAC bill in May, 1941. Yet action was not taken until after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Much of the opposition to women in the military was based on traditional notions of women's place being the home, the image of the military as a masculine preserve, and fears that admission to the military would lead to the possibility of women in combat.
