"Opening positions and units to women to ensure that the best qualified are chosen, not based solely on gender, but on capabilities and experience will help to ensure that our military remains the best..."

"I am very pleased that the Secretary rescinded the policy to allow women to serve in all units and positions, including ground combat."

"The elimination of the ground combat policy is the first step towards that equality."
