This post lists all the research the Marine Corps commissioned or conducted related to gender integration in the ground combat arms. This list represents tens of millions of dollars dedicated, years spent and hundreds of people’s time and effort. The list is arranged alphabetically, by the organization which conducted the research. All studies are located in the Marine Corps Archives in Quantico, Virginia. If there is anything of particular interest to you, let me know in the comments.
Over the course of this blog, I will go in-depth into most of these studies. This post serves as a reference point only. There is a related post that lists additional background research conducted. You can find that post here.
