Race and Gender in U.S. Military History

Jeremy Maxwell, Command and General Staff College & Angela Riotto, Army University Press

An effective military only functions under the principles of equality and inclusion.  Manpower policy regarding inclusion and equality has only changed when forced to by the necessities of war or from outside social and political influence.  This course will examine the history of service of minority groups and women in the U.S. Military, major amendments to manpower policy, and historic problems with presenting a less than unified force.
