Advancing Army Women as Senior Leaders - Understanding the Obstacles

摘要

This paper examined through research, whether any evidence exists which indicatesthat, army women are confronted with inherent obstacles as they try to advance through the ranks to senior level positions. And, it explored that if in fact those obstacles do exist, does the culture of the army aid in fostering them. This study was conducted in an attempt to assist in determining the possible causes of women choosing not to remain in the service long enough to reach the senior grade levels. Are there just too many obstacles for women to face that in the end, it is just not worth any further effort.
