Army Regulation 600-13 provides the following: “The Army’s assignment policy for female soldiers allows
women to serve in any officer or enlisted specialty or position except in those specialties, positions, or units
which are assigned a routine mission to engage in direct combat.” G.I. Jane, a recent graduate of Virginia
Military Institute, has applied for an officer position in a unit that routinely engages in direct combat. Because
Jane is female, her application is denied under AR 600-13. Discuss whether AR 600-13 violates the Biblical
Equality Principle discussed in the course materials. Fully explain your position.
