The Marine Corps has until 2025 to integrate women fully into its training of new recruits on Parris Island, a century-old bootcamp on South Carolina’s coast. That deadline was set by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump.
Female Marines have trained for decades at the camp – but not at platoon level. In the past, women have been deployed in support roles while combat units remained all-male. That is changing across the U.S. military as more women go to war. But change has been much slower in the Marines, as Corps commanders say integrated units are less effective at some battlefield tasks.
