Dear MEL Topic Readers,
These 2 women are the first sisters ever to
become Army generals
Though China outnumbers the size of manpower,
US military is the most powerful, expensive, and diverse military force in the
world.
Among over 1.3 million active-duty personnel,
over 200,000 are women. And a little over 10% of the highest-ranking senior
officers, colonels and Navy captains, are women. The figure was only less than
2% three decades ago. But the female presence in the US military doesn’t stop there. Of
the 653 active duty general officers and admirals, 63 of them are women, up
from 30 in 2000.
You understand that female presence in the US
military has been consistently rising at all levels, including combat forces
and fighter jet pilots.
Now, two sisters are ranked generals out of a
total of 231 army generals. It is the first time for the US army’s history to have active
sister generals at a given time.
Were they determined to walk a military career
path in their early lives?
Enjoy reading the article and learn about the
first sister generals in the US army.
