What is the Brass Ceiling?

In the U.S. military, whether to directly assume and participate in combat missions has always been critical to promotion. Women who have served in the U.S. military for a long time said they were unfairly suppressed on promotion issues because they were unable to serve in combat positions. The "lifting of the ban" on women soldiers will provide thousands of jobs for women soldiers on the front line, as well as command work for potential elites.

Brass ceiling

Right!

Brass ceiling refers to an invisible obstacle that exists in the army and law enforcement to prevent women from further promotion.

Brass ceiling

In English, the term Brass ceiling is derived from the glass ceiling, which refers to an invisible and difficult-to-break barrier that hinders the promotion of ethnic minorities and women in the workplace regardless of qualifications and achievements. The term brass here stands for military and law enforcement uniforms, because their uniform buttons are made of brass. Brass ceilings prevented women from occupying important positions in the army. On January 24, 2013, the Associated Press reported that US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta officially announced the lifting of the ban on female soldiers from participating in combat. This "lift" overturned the prohibition on women being assigned in 1994. Provisions for ground combat units will avoid the way for the promotion of outstanding female soldiers in the United States Army.
