Female soldiers now have 4,100 jobs in the service’s Special Operations Command, thanks to a Feb. 25 directive signed by Army Secretary John M. McHugh. Included are positions with Special Forces, National Guard airborne and tactical-psychological teams, and the pre-Ranger course. The decision to open more SpecOps jobs to women was spurred largely by assessments of the 2013 edict that removed the barrier that barred their service in combat positions. One job – fire support specialist – remains closed to women.
