In 2013, then Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, announced that by 2016, all combat roles in the military must be made avaliable to women, or specific exemptions be requested. Since then, several programs have begun trial periods to see if women can compete with the men in some of the Armed Forces most challengin training courses including Army Rangers, Marine Infanty Officers and Marine Infantry Enlisted training.
