Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta is lifting the ban on women in combat and Fort Campbell officials say this really will not change too many things for the soldiers on post. 101st Airborne Division Public Affairs Officer Lieutenant Colonel Juanita Chang says women have a long history of serving in the army.
She adds Fort Campbell women are currently working hard in Afghanistan.
She says Major General James McConville is proud of the female Screaming Eagles.
Chang says, as one of the highest ranking women at Fort Campbell, she has had many opportunities.
One of the things that may be open to women through this process is the Ranger School and Special Forces Teams, but Chang says all the details have not been laid out to the Division yet.
