The study’s purpose is to conduct a thorough evaluation, gathering as much scientific data as possible on what it takes to accomplish certain physically demanding tasks deemed inherent to four different combat military occupation specialties. The intent is to hopefully allow the Army to develop ‘gender neutral physical standards.’ These validated standards are intended to shape future recruiting and accessions of both males and females into the evaluated MOSs.
