Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon is reviewing the effectiveness of having thousands of women serve in ground combat roles.
The Institute for Defense Analyses, a nonprofit that conducts independent research for the federal government, has been tasked with “reviewing the effectiveness of having women in ground combat roles to ensure standards are met and the United States maintains the most lethal military,” the Pentagon said in a statement to the Daily Beast on Tuesday.
“Our standards for combat arms positions will be elite, uniform, and sex neutral because the weight of a rucksack or a human being doesn’t care if you’re a man or a woman,” Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson said. “Under Secretary Hegseth, the Department of War will not compromise standards to satisfy quotas or an ideological agenda—this is common sense.”
