Women In Combat Jobs

Engineman? Yeoman? Not so fast. Now that women will be allowed to serve in all combat jobs, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps are dropping "man" from some of their job titles to make them inclusive and gender-neutral.

In a historic transformation of the U.S. military, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Thursday that the Pentagon will open all combat jobs to women.

The U.S. military will formally end its ban on women serving in front-line combat roles, officials said on Wednesday, in a move that could open thousands of fighting jobs to female service members.
