(AP) — Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta, in lifting a ban on women
serving in combat, said women have
become integral to the military's
success and have shown they are
willing to fight and die alongside
their male counterparts.
"The time has come for our poli
cies to recognize that reality,"
Panetta said Thursday at a Penta
gon news conference with Gen.
Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Panetta said that not all women
will be able to meet the qualifica
tions to be a combat soldier.
"But everyone is entitled to a
chance," he said.
He said the qualifications will not
be lowered, and with women play
ing a broader role, the military will be
strengthened.
Panetta said that his visits to
Afghanistan and Iraq to see U.S.
forces in action demonstrated to
him that women should have a
chance to perform combat duties if
they wish, and if they can meet the
qualifications.
"Our military is more capable,
and our force is more powerful, when
we use all o f the great diverse
strengths of the American people,"
Panetta said.
"Every person in today's military
has made a solemn commitment to
a litter of sandbags during training at Fort Campbell in Kentucky.

fight, and if necessary to die, for our
nation's defense," he said. "We owe
it to them to allow them to pursue
every avenue of military service for
which they are fully prepared and
qualified. Their career success and
their specific opportunities should
be based solely on their ability to
successfully carry out an assigned
mission. Everyone deserves that
chance."
The decision to lift the ban on
women serving in combat presents
a daunting challenge to top military
leaders who now will have to decide
which, if any, jobs they believe
should be open only to men.
It will be up to the military service
chiefs to recommend and defend
whether women should be excluded
from any of those more demanding
and deadly positions, such as Navy
SEALs or the Army's Delta Force.
The historic change, which was
recommended by the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, overturns a 1994 rule prohib
iting women from being assigned to
smaller ground combat units.
The change won't take place over
night: Service chiefs will have to de
velop plans for allowing women to
seek the combat positions, a senior
military official said. Some jobs may
open as soon as this year, while as
sessments for others, such as special
operations forces, may take longer.
Panetta's move comes in his final
weeks as Pentagon chief and just
days after President Barack Obama's
inaugural speech in which he spoke
passionately about equal rights for
all. The new order expands the
department's action of nearly a year
ago to open about 14,500 combat
positions to women, nearly all of
them in the Army.
