Can women go to war in the army?
The question is in the category "World War I". The US did not allow women into the "army" proper at the time; they instead joined the Women's Army Corps and were assigned to non-combat positions (mostly clerical and other "service" roles).On January 24, 2013, the US Secretary of Defense officially removed the ban on women serving in combat positions, but the details and ramifications of this are still working themselves out. There's currently no legal bar to women joining the US Army, nor is there one for women in the US Army from "going to war" (by which I assume you mean taking part as official combatants), but it may take some time for the new rules to be fully implemented.

There are thousands of US Army Colonels and Lt. Colonels. Between the two, on active duty alone, there are probably close to 10,000. There could be up to 50 at one base depending on the size of the base. There are nearly 50 Major Generals in the Army (3-star), which are close to .5% of officers, or .0007% of the Army. Full Colonels make up about 5% of the active duty Army officers (1% of total Army soldiers). Lt. Colonels make up about 13% of the active duty Army officers (3% of total Army soldiers). In addition, as a full Colonel, you are forced to retire at 30 years of commissioned service. My father, started as a Private, went to OCS, became commissioned as a 2LT and made it to Colonel within the normal 22 years of being commissioned. He was forced to retire at 30 years of commissioned service, however, he did have a total of 32 years since he was enlisted prior to his commissioning. While these numbers serve as a general guideline, they will change over time do to normal fluctuations in the needs of our military, wartime, peacetime, etc.
