Book excerpt: This paper examines several problem areas related to the current debate over gender integrated training (GIT) and military readiness in the DOD: whether or not men and women should train together in the best interest of military readiness. The review is not limited to the Air Force. Included in the review is a brief history of the evolution of increased participation by women in American national defense, as well the parallel legislative measures that normally accompanied each notable movement. The sociological work done by pioneering military social scientists Dr. Charles Moskos and his protegee, Dr. (Lt Col) Karen Dunivin, are included for fuller discussion. The primary focus is the last 18 months where the Senate charged each service to investigate the propriety of GIT for their branch, and make recommendations and necessary changes. In providing a current and comprehensive look at the issue, the researchers hope this document addresses most of the facets of a highly complex and vital issue in one place, making it easier for sincerely motivated parties to recognize the facts objectively and decide our future wisely.
