The U.S. Marine Corps is expected to announce that 19 of its military occupational specialties (MOSs) will become gender neutral as part of the ongoing effort to integrate women into military combat roles.
In most cases, the title currently features the word “man” and will instead say “Marine,” the Marine Corps Times reported. “Basic infantryman” will be changed to “basic infantry Marine,” for instance, while “anti-tank missileman” will be changed to “anti-tank missile gunner.”
Some titles will remain untouched, a Marine official told the outlet, to preserve Marine history.
