The part that concerned me however is this.

Integrating women into the combat arms – primarily infantry, armor and artillery – is going to be a balancing act. Standards must be met, but there will be pressure to ensure enough women qualify so there’s not only one or two in a 150-troop company.

They do make a legitimate concern about artificially inflating the standards to eclude women, but as long as it results in us having a high enough number of personal to do the jobs, I have absolutely no problem with a higher physical standard. I also have issues with double standards in the military in general. Otherwise I think this is great, especially since this is acknowledging something that is already the case.
