Approach to Developing a Monitoring Framework; References 330 $a"This study for the U.S. Marine Corps consisted of four tasks: (1) review the literature on the integration of women in ground combat and other physically demanding occupations, (2) conduct interviews with representatives of organizations that have integrated women into physically demanding occupations, (3) estimate the costs of potential initiatives to promote successful gender integration, and (4) develop an approach for monitoring implementation of gender integration of the infantry. RAND researchers present a historical overview of the integration of women into the U.S. military and explore the importance of cohesion and what influences it. The gender integration experiences of foreign militaries, as well as those of domestic police and fire departments, are examined for insights on effective policies. The potential one-time and recurring costs associated with integration are estimated as well. The report culminates in a summary of previous monitoring efforts and broad strategic monitoring issues, as well as recommendations to the Marine Corps for implementation."--[back cover]. 606 $aWomen and the military$zUnited States 606 $aWomen soldiers$zUnited States 606 $aWomen in combat$zUnited States 615 0$aWomen and the military 615 0$aWomen soldiers 615 0$aWomen in combat 676 $a359.9 700 $aSchaefer$b Agnes Gereben$0942234 702 $aSchaefer$b Agnes Gereben 712 02$aNational Defense Research Institute (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220113903321 996 $aImplications of integrating women into the Marine Corps infantry$92895471 997 $aUNINA
