The article is from the center for military readiness and criticizes some of the changes that are/may be going through. hold on to your hat guys as you hear some of these things. many sacrifice readiness and material and things in favor of meeting PC goals.

"The altered language of the collocation rule apparently underlies the unrealistic notion that only male soldiers will go forward when a unit is “conducting” a battle, while female soldiers will be evacuated and sent elsewhere just prior to hostilities. That would leave as many as 24 positions vacant when the combined infantry/armor battalion is most in need of formerly all-male soldiers in its collocated forward support company.

"Evacuating 24 fully loaded female soldiers would require two Blackhawk helicopters, six Huey helicopters, one Chinook helicopter, two 5-ton trucks, or 12 fully-crewed up-armored humvees—assets that cannot be spared on the eve of battle."

Yes, you read it right... in order that the women are protected from a forward combat position (for which they train), is to have them jump ship just before the battle... so long boys, we have things to do elsewhere...

This is a prime example of something that is all too common now, and thats the process that happens after a PC thing is established on some spurious points. After the first thing is unworkable there are more and more odd gyrations and rules as we try to adjust a Volkswagen to be a Rolls Royce all while ignoring that you cant get there from here.
