Key Points

This resolution recognizes the 50th anniversary of women joining the nation's military academies. It supports creating a special day to celebrate this milestone and honors the women who have served in the military past and present.
In the summer of 1976, nearly 400 women first enrolled at the Air Force, Coast Guard, Naval, and Military academies. Since then, more than 24,000 women have graduated from these schools and moved into high-ranking leadership roles.
The number of women serving as officers in the military has grown significantly over the last five decades. In 1976, women made up only about 5 percent of officers. Today, that number has reached about 20 percent.
Women from these academies have achieved many firsts in military history. They have commanded aircraft carriers, served as pilots for the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds, and earned the elite Army Ranger tab while serving in combat roles.
