An experimental Marine Corps study obtained by the Monitor has concluded that units with both men and women are less effective than all-male units.
The results of the experiment, known as the Ground Combat Element Integrated Task Force (GCEITF), could be used by the Marines as grounds to ask for an exemption to the combat exclusion policy, which currently bars women from taking part in direct combat.
The services have until January to open all jobs to women, or ask Pentagon leaders for an exemption by October.
The GCEITF included roughly 200 male and 75 female volunteers, who were evaluated on how they performed a series of physical combat tasks between March and May.
The results of the study come on the heels of news last month that two women passed the Army’s grueling Ranger School and earned their Ranger tabs.
The Marine Corps’ conclusions have sparked criticism from female Marines and others, who argue that the study was poorly conducted and biased toward a belief that men are biologically and psychologically built to be better fighters.
Indeed, efforts to integrate combat units constitute “social engineering,” Lt. Gen. Gregory Newbold, a former Marine infantryman who served as Director of Operations on the Pentagon’s Joint Staff before he retired, argued in an op-ed this week that was widely seen as laying the groundwork for the Marines’ experimental task force study release.
In introducing its conclusions, the Marine Corps cites the “the brutal and extremely physical nature of direct ground combat, often marked by close, interpersonal violence.”

All they should have had to do is to look at history. Historically, there have been no female armies. If females were effective fighters, there would have been.
“and biased toward a belief that men are biologically and psychologically built to be better fighters.”
ANY woman who questions this should be immediately discounted.
It is not mere bias that en are all-around better equipped to be fighters than women. The very same women b1tch about all the probems of the world beibg caused by savage brutal males.
They love the differences when they can criticize men, hate the very same differences when it works against them.
I hope whoever is behind this is done with their carreer.
“I hope whoever is behind this is done with their career.”
Where is Mr. “Diversity is our STRENGTH”?
They will just ruin the careers of the officers in charge, until they get some cowed enough to cravenly say what they want to hear.
It is a bit harder with Marines, but persistent weeding out of counter-revolutionaries will steadily march the program forward.
Besides, they enjoy screwing their political opponents.
Exactly!
Who saw this coming?
As what if they get a chest errr breast wound..will they allow the medic to fix it?? or a crotch wound???
They needed study to figure that out? Maybe they should have just used ALL of human history for their study data and saved a lot of money?
Wow, I posted mine and then I see you said the exact same thing in a different way.... Lol
It’s really quite amazing how warped our govt becomes under liberals.
I’ve never cared for the idea of women being frontline soldiers. If they want to pilot vehicles or aircraft, by all means go for it. There are plenty of very effective female pilots.
‘... units with both men and women are less effective than all-male units.”
Give them want they want. All women combat units. That no one simply does this, which is the obvious thing to do to test the effectiveness of women in combat, should tell everyone where they are coming from.
Freegards
Worse yet...they’ll send the offenders to a series of sensitivity and multi-culti sessions.
