BALTIMORE â In honor of Women s History month, we sat down with National Guard Army Comander, Janeen Birkhead, to look at some of the advancements women have been able to make in the military.

Last week, Brigadier General Janeen Birckhead, the Maryland Deputy Adjutant General, began to take charge of coordinating the state s equity efforts.
