Aspin said All three factors must be present to prevent the assignment of women to a particular unit. Under the new policy women will still be barred from ground combat units. But combat support units will no longer be closed to women simply because they Are considered dangerous As was the Case under the risk Rule he said. For example a truck company that supports an infantry element May have been closed to women in the past be cause the risk Rule calculated that the danger of serving in that company was As great As serving in the infantry element itself he said.

It is now up to the services to use this policy As guidance to determine which posit3ns_will be opened to everyone he said. The services have until May 1 to apply the new policy to All positions now closed to women and report to Dorn on which jobs will remain closed. They must pro vide detailed justification for those decisions Dorn said. Recent news reports have painted the army and Marine corps As putting up stiff behind the scenes.
