| Summary |
"Women play a critical role in the defense of the United States as members of the military. As women have joined the workplace in increasing numbers, they do not remain in the US Army at the same rate as their male counterparts. The US Army is unable to capitalize on the full extent of the US population to recruit and retain its most valuable weapon: the American soldier. This study used a qualitative research methodology to analyze four other armed services to understand what efforts they have made towards retaining diverse populations. Using the US Coast Guard, the US Air Force, the Australian Defence Force, and the Norwegian Armed Forces, this study seeks to understand what policies the US Army could adopt to better retain female officers. This analysis found that adopting policies which allow for increased work flexibility helps to retain women and aligning physical fitness standards with deployment policies further retains women. One of the key findings is that the US Army must seek to understand what drives women retention and then share best practice across the joint force"-- Provided by publisher. |
