" The Army is circulating a draft policy tweak that would specify that soldiers can request to move if they feel state or local laws discriminate against them based on gender, sex, religion, race or pregnancy, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the plans."

The Army


A U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and combat physician has described how fellow medics in the Army were told not to enter records of COVID jab adverse reactions into official databases.

"They either look the other way or they just say, 'Well, I can't do that. It doesn't exist'," said Dr. Peter Chambers, a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, Special Forces Green Beret, and combat physician.

At a recent Senate hearing, we learned that Army physical fitness has been sacrificed on the altar of gender equity, a move that former infantryman Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., noted will "get soldiers killed."

Army Secretary Christine Wormuth admitted to Cotton that the service had abandoned efforts to ensure that soldiers' fitness in physically demanding Army career fieldssuch as artillerywas being continuously assessed to ensure they met the standards. A subsequent exchange revealed that the Army's minimum fitness standards have been dramatically compromised.

…

Enter the Army's new combat fitness test. Designed over 10 years, it consists of six events, all chosen as a proxy for the types of strength soldiers need on the modern battlefield. The standards were gender-neutral to objectively assess who could serve in which Army positions.

The Army spent years studying the standards necessary to succeed in its 190 different career fields.

Unlike previous fitness tests, the Army combat fitness test had no categories for male and female. Color-coded scoring bands were established for each of the six Army combat fitness test events. For artillery crew members, the level of performance required were the highest, coded "black."

To achieve the "black" standard for a 2-mile run time, for example, a soldier needed to finish in 18 minutes and deadlift 200 pounds. Similarly, high scores were required in the other four events.

It was a tough but science-based system that ensured soldiers who held these physically demanding positions were able to continue to contribute effectively and succeed. It was scheduled for implementation for October 2021. Then Congress and advocacy groups intervened.

Alarmed that women were scoring lower than men were on trial tests of the Army combat fitness test, Congress passed a law delaying the test and requiring an independent assessment.

Months later, Rand, who performed the study, returned with shocking news: Males and females score differently on fitness tests. Thus, greater numbers of women than men would not be eligible to serve and remain in the Army's most physically demanding career fields.

Under heavy pressure, the Army surrendered. It threw out the gender-neutral test, effectively abandoning any effort to link continued physical fitness to career fields and simultaneously watering down the baseline fitness standards.

Asked why by Cotton, Wormuth replied: "We wanted to make sure that we didn't unfairly have standards for a particular subgroup that people, you know, couldn't perform. We didn't want to disadvantage any subgroups."

So now the entire Army is disadvantaged, its readiness degraded in the name of "fairness." The desire to put "equitable" outcomes first is reducing elite combat units to the lowest common denominator. It is a recipe for defeat.

Worse, not only did the Army remove any link between continuing physical fitness and career fields, it also significantly lowered the minimum scores necessary to pass.

The new Army combat fitness test passing standard for a female age 17-21 for the 2-mile run is over four minutes slower than the old standards. A female soldier can take a leisurely 23 minutes, a male 22 minutes, and still pass. The number of required pushups went down by nine, to a total of 10. Cotton, unable to hide his disgust during the hearing, called the lowered standards "absolutely pathetic."
