As a male who served (went to all male boot camp because I was infantry) I can say that what Trump is doing to the females serving in our armed forces is nothing short of appalling. These women deserve better and their service is just as valuable and worthy as any male counterpart. #WomenInService

Ended my day deeply inspired by two incredible women veterans. Ret. Lt. Col. Cindy Feldwisch, who paved the way for women in the military, and Mayling Armijo, who continues to serve with courage and grace.

Thank you both for your service!

In reversal, Pentagon keeps women’s advisory group, adds four more A 75-year-old committee advocating for women in the military will be revived as part of a phased return of 39 DOD groups put on pause earlier this year.

We welcome the Pentagon’s decision to keep the 75-year-old commission advocating for women in the armed services & restore advisory groups on equity & inclusion. Women's voices in the Defense Department matter. #ProtectOurDefenders #WomenInService

A Supplemental Women’s Health Questionnaire for Women Veterans With Military Environmental Exposures: Project Development and Implementation Background: The number of women in the armed forces has steadily increased across all branches, even as the overall size of the military remains stable. The population of women Veterans (WVs) is also expanding. The existing literature has extensively reported the impact of military environmental exposures (MEEs) on adverse physical and mental health outcomes in service members and Veterans; however, most of these studies focus on the experiences of men. In response to the growing need to address women-specific health care concerns, particularly women with MEEs, the Women’s Operational Military Exposure Network Center of Excellent (WOMEN CoE) developed and implemented the Women’s Health Addendum (WHA). Objective: The primary objective of this project is to: (1) describe the development and implementation of a comprehensive health questionnaire for WVs; (2) systematically describe and characterize the health conditions of WVs seeking care for MEE-related health concerns; and (3) utilize findings to inform clinic policies and develop targeted programs. Methods: The WHA was introduced by the WOMEN CoE to assess the prevalence of health conditions that are female-specific, or disproportionally impact WVs, examine the relationship between these health conditions and MEEs; and utilize findings to improve care. The WHA was developed through an iterative process, incorporating literature review, Veteran and clinician feedback, and clinical expertise. It consists of 81 questions across seven categories related to health conditions across the life span. The WHA was implemented in two phases; in Phase 1, it was administered to WVs at the California War Related Illness and Injury Study Center (WRIISC), and Phase 2 included WVs at WRIISC sites in New Jersey and Washington DC. Descriptive findings are presented here. Results: A total of 63 WVs participated in the program evaluation from October 2022 – April 2024. In Phase 1, 39% of the 75 women who were invited agreed to participate. In Phase 2, 34 of the 325 invited Veterans (10%) responded. Several women’s health conditions were reported, with approximately 97% of women reporting at least one health condition and 87% reporting three or more. Among respondents, the most prevalent conditions included sexual dysfunction (70%), urinary incontinence (59%), pelvic floor dysfunction (52%), and pregnancy loss (44%). Overall, more than 40% of conditions were related to urinary health and pelvic floor dysfunction. Conclusions: Findings highlight the need for services related to women’s health, especially for this cohort of WVs with MEE concerns seen at a tertiary care center. Initial findings emphasize the concern that WVs have about fertility and MEE experienced during deployments. Next steps include administering the WHA to WVs undergoing a WRIISC evaluation at sister sites in real time and establishing a wider distribution network for the WHA. Future efforts to evaluate the relationship between MEE and women’s health concerns further are underway.
