This is a 9 page group proposal discussing the possibility of establishment of gender tolerance sessions within the regular course of military training. An increased population of women in the military should be reflected by gender tolerance activities within a working team environment. By combining group dynamic research in regards to business organizational structures and mentoring aspects which have proven more beneficial in regards to diversified groups, the group leader would hope to establish not only increased gender tolerance and awareness through education and group activities but by forming smaller groups within the sessions comprised of two group faultlines (age/experience and gender), the sessions would provide an opportunity for the members to gain valuable social, professional and working team skills within a mixed gender environment.

performed outside of the session times; one based on a physical team activity and one based on an academic team activity. Evaluations of the sessions would be qualitative as to
the success of increased gender education and tolerance as stated by the group members. I. Introduction and Type of Group Since World War II, there has been a large shift
in gender roles which has included womens entry into the military. While womens organizations wanted this shift based on opportunities and equal citizenship, military leaders also found that in modern
warfare women are needed because according to one Army official "we have found difficulty in getting enlisted men to perform tedious duties anywhere near as well as women will do
