'INTRODUCTION The American Issues Forum (AIF) is the national pr gram for the Bicentennial Y developed, by the NationalEndowment forthe umanities arid co-sponsored by theAmerican Revolution Bicentennial Administration. It is .a program_ for Americans fromeverywalk and station of life to participate in on a voluntary basis. Thekey to the American Issues Forum is a topical Calendar of nine monthly issues -- issues that havebeen ,fundamental to American society throughout our history. Within each monthly issue (topic) are four weekly sub-topics. -. - The Forum, Calendar, covering36 weeks,has been designedto stimulate serious. and -coordinated explorationofAmerica's abiding accomplishments andproblems during ourBicentennial year. It willbegin in September, 1975,, andcontinue through May, 1976. The full text ofthe Calendar is enclosed, as Section II of this Packet. II While designednationally, the Forum is a practical grass roots do-it- yourself program. Everyone canparticipate inany of various ways: 'town meetings, debates, speaker programs, dramatic readings, essays, home discus- sions. To stimulate and add to local, and regional programs, many national types of support are being readied by both commercial and noncommercial originators. Such support includes television and radio presentations, national magazine articles, a nation-wide newspaper "course,'' written by ten leading scholars, articles in the journals of many associations, etc. But, as the introduction of the Calendar states: I-1 0000U 1 ...the design of the Forum is up to the participants. How each of us addresses the issues will dependon how we interpret them: the general topics described in this calendar are meant only to suggest ideas. Using them as a starting point, different groups will move in different directions, givingattention to those, aspects of each theme that affect them most deeply--for we all have our own points ofview andour ownspecial concerns.... The essential thing, however, is to spark a nationwide discussion of fundamentals Why? As one of the Forumts planners has written: With changes taking place in our very styles of life, we believe the American people will agree that it is crucial to afford issues their proper perspective, and that they should be debated, and argued, and counter-argued. The Forum encourages all sides and every worthwhile point of view--but it is not just an exercise, a debating society. Fromthese discussions of the Forum's topics will come ideas. And fromthese ideas will sometimes come a firmer basis for public and private decision-making. TheEndowment stands on the proposition that any meaningful considerationof our future requires prior consideration of those time-less issues and forces that have influenced and will continue to influence our lives. JThe purposeof this Leadership Packet is to provide those who are interested in planning AIFProgramswithsuggestions of how to do so, and with informationabout supportingmaterials and services and where they may be obtained. It is hopedthat these informationalmaterials will greatly facilitate the task of arranging for AIF programs. It is recognizedthat by the time this packet reaches its intended users it will be very difficult for many to plan programs commencing in September. Some plans, of course, have already been maae, and this Leadership Packet will aid their implementation. Other planners should recognize that, since the Calendar is diiiided into separate monthly topics (with weekly sub-topics), coherent and attractiveprograms may start in any month during the period of September, 1975, to May, 1976. Academic programs might be planned to begin the second or thirdquarters or secondsemester of school years. Others not bound by academic schedulesmaycommence as soon as it is feasible, Furthermore, 'programs neednot deal with the'whole of the Calendar; topics of particular interest-to a participating group may be selected. Finally, programs based-on the topics of the early weeks of the Calendar may be scheduled for later discussion, if a grouphas keen interest in them and cannot arrange for early meetings; the publications relevant to those topics will, of course, continue to be available.. e4 As the Tableof Contents indicates, this Packet contains, folloWing this Introduction, the full text of the AIF Calendar, The next section suggests. many different types of programs which may be planned; it is followed by a section givingsome general "How-to-do-it" information. Section V contains a RegionalBibliography keyed to the monthly Calendar topics. Under separate cover, recipients of the Packet

  • How Women's Integration Transformed the Army, 1964
    STROHMER, THERESE M., Ph.D. Soldiers, Not Wacs: How Women’s Integration Transformed the Army, 1964-1994. (2016) Directed by Lisa Levenstein. 380 pp. In 2016, the Secretary of Defense opened all ground combat jobs in the military to women, permitting work in a field that had been off limits to them since the inception of the Women’s Army Corps in 1948. Yet little is understood about female soldiers’ journey to attain these roles. This dissertation shows how the 2016 decision did not emerge out of nowhere; earlier generations had laid the foundation. That foundation reflected both advocacy and achievement on the part of military women to gain access to a range of noncombat jobs on the battlefield. Women’s integration into these positions changed the meaning of combat from a geographic space exposing soldiers to hostile action, to a soldier’s specific direct ground combat role attacking the enemy. Women’s integration fundamentally transformed the Army workplace. Between 1964 and 1994, their presence in the Army increased from one percent to thirteen percent. As their numbers grew, they increasingly infiltrated the leadership ranks; by 2016, over seventeen percent of Generals were women. Having women in these leadership positions meant they commanded men, established plans for war and led troops in battle. Many ordinary soldiers pushed for policies that enabled mothers to serve, allowed women access to professional military education, and they consistently forced the military to confront the problem of sexual violence. Lesbian soldiers consistently pushed the Army for inclusion, by 2010 their efforts resulted in the right of all homosexuals to serve openly.
