Today, Secretary of Defense Carter announced his final determination to fully integrate all military positions, career fields, and specialties to women. USSOCOM would like to take this opportunity to stand behind Secretary Carter's decision, and fully support opening all special operations specialties and units to female service members. By the original order in January 2013, all the Services and USSOCOM were given the opportunity to request specific exceptions to this policy. After much study and careful consideration, USSOCOM Commander, General Joseph Votel, did not request an exception.
