Dear MEL Topic Readers,

These 2 women are the first sisters ever to become Army generals

Though China outnumbers the size of manpower, US military is the most powerful, expensive, and diverse military force in the world.

Among over 1.3 million active-duty personnel, over 200,000 are women. And a little over 10% of the highest-ranking senior officers, colonels and Navy captains, are women. The figure was only less than 2% three decades ago. But the female presence in the US military doesn’t stop there. Of the 653 active duty general officers and admirals, 63 of them are women, up from 30 in 2000.

You understand that female presence in the US military has been consistently rising at all levels, including combat forces and fighter jet pilots.

Now, two sisters are ranked generals out of a total of 231 army generals. It is the first time for the US army’s history to have active sister generals at a given time.

Were they determined to walk a military career path in their early lives?

Enjoy reading the article and learn about the first sister generals in the US army.
