Technical forces need the widest skilled recruitment pool

As military work becomes more technical, aptitude and specialist skill make excluding half the population strategically self-defeating.

Notes

The discussion shifts from the nursing account to the personnel demands of modern armed forces. Maintaining drones, helicopters, medical systems, and other complex equipment depends heavily on specialist aptitude rather than a simple test of physical strength. Skilled nurses and engineers are scarce enough that recruitment policy must identify ability wherever it exists. Forces therefore weaken their available talent pool when they exclude qualified women from technical, engineering, or medical roles.
