Get the Facts - Women in the U.S. Military
Women in the Military Services Fact Sheet |
The Institute for Women's Leadership is committed to increasing the numbers of women in decision-making and leadership positions across all sectors and positions. Our series of women's leadership fact sheets is designed to expand awareness of women's current underrepresentation and progress. As of September, 2009, women made up 14 percent of the U.S. armed forces. Across all four branches of the military, only one woman, out of 41, was at the highest rank of General-Admiral. Averaging all four military branches, women officers represent 7 percent at the rank of Admiral and 15.5 percent of officers overall. Across all four branches of the military, women's percentage in officer ranks roughly equals their percentage in enlisted ranks.
