Navy Honors Women Who Fight

The Navy joins the nation in celebrating Women's History Month throughout the month of March 2018. Navy commands are encouraged to celebrate and reflect on the theme 'Honoring Women Who Fight All Forms of Discrimination.' Women have served in the Navy dating back to the 1800s. Today, twenty percent of the Navy's enlisted force and nineteen percent of the officer force are women. A complete educational presentation, including a downloadable educational poster on Women's History month, can be requested from the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI) by email at deomipa@us.af.mil.
