that took effect in 2016 to “fully integrate women without compromising our readiness, morale or war-fighting capacity,” less than one-tenth of the 78,000 U.S. Special Operations Command members are women, compared with about 19 percent military-wide, according to a watchdog report.
Service Women’s Action Network and a retired Air Force colonel. “So, I do not think it is realistic” to expect parity. Corrosive special ops problems, particularly in the Navy, have infected training for men and women. For years, about 25 percent of prospective SEALs completed training,. That fell to about half in February 2021 and only 7 percent have finished the course since then.
Watchdog interviews with 51 unnamed women reported gender discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault or retaliation while serving in Special Operations, experiences that made them want to leave that assignment or the military entirely. Forty-one were on active duty when questioned.Gender discrimination and a male-dominated culture were the barriers most often noted in the interviews.

Sixty percent of the active duty special ops women interviewed said they experienced sexual harassment after the 2016 mandated gender integration and almost one-third reported being sexually assaulted. More than a third said they suffered retaliation for reporting sexual discrimination, harassment or assault.
