March is National Women’s History Month. It’s a time to praise the incalculable contributions of women in this country while also setting aside a moment to take stock of how far America has come with regards to gender equality.
One measure of success for the Army, according to Lt. Col. Wendy Tokach, 787th Military Police Battalion commander, is that gender is no longer a qualifier in most situations.
“What it shows is that we’re finally getting to the point in the military where your gender doesn’t matter,” she said.
