Once again, women have proven themselves to be a joking matter in the military, and their male peers are laughing all the way home.
Recently, Major Nicole (last name withheld for security) of 3rd Battalion, 1st Special Warfare Training Group, hosted the first Army Special Operations (ARSOF) Women’s Mentorship Working Group. The group included women who were commanders at every level of command from all across ARSOF.
The groups aim to provide a “safe, non-attributional venue for women in ARSOF to ask questions that address issues unique to being a woman, plan leadership development, identify potential mentors and mentees, and educate men who are wanting to improve their organizational culture by increasing inclusivity for women.”
