ABC reports:In a historic decision, Defense Secretary Ash Carter has opened up all military combat jobs to women ending a decades-long ban on women serving in front-line units.
Carter has given the military services until January 1 to present a timeline for implementing the historic change by April 1. Carter's decision overrides a recommendation made by the Marine Corps that women should continue not being allowed to serve in its infantry units.
After lengthy reviews, the Army, Navy, Air Force and U.S. Special Operations Command had recommended that women should be allowed to serve in all combat units
