Another interesting point brought up by SWAN is a limitation to career advancement for female officers as being one of the points for integration into the infantry. This point is null in the Marine Corps as, unlike the Army, the Combat Action Ribbon is not limited to MOS...though I believe the Army does have a device recognizing combat participation for non-infantry MOSs but is considered less prestigious.
SWANs policy director, a form Army enlisted and infantry officer, suggests the best person qualified for the job of leading soldiers into battle should be in that position, regardless of gender. This makes a lot of sense on the surface but brings with it complications. Any newly implemented policy is going to take priority for coofftopicnders compliance. Quotas will be set, and filled, and the result could very well be the opposite of what Director Jacob is hoping for. There's just so many considerations and variables to take into account, I really hope people don't attempt to affect policy by emotion rather than reason or facts.
