Details of the Army’s plan to integrate women into its combat arms military occupational specialties, which were previously open only to men, were released after being approved by Defense Secretary Ash Carter.

The Army is taking a “leader first” approach, with plans to put in place officers before assigning new enlisted soldiers to operational units.

Carter on Dec. 4, announced his decision to lift all gender-based restrictions on military service. The move paved the way for women to serve in the previously all-male infantry, armor and Special Forces fields and opened nearly 220,000 jobs across the military.
