UNCLASSIFIED ROUTINE R 042110Z MAR 22 MID200001547760U FM SECNAV WASHINGTON DC TO ALNAV INFO SECNAV WASHINGTON DC CNO WASHINGTON DC CMC WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS ALNAV 012/22 MSGID/GENADMIN/SECNAV WASHINGTON DC/-/MAR// SUBJ/DEPARTMENT OF NAVY 2022 WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH// RMKS/1. Each March, the Department of the Navy (DON) celebrates Women's History Month to reflect on the historical, cultural, and societal contributions of women to our communities and to our Nation. It is an opportunity to honor female Sailors, Marines, and civilians who paved the way for future generations of leaders and to recognize those who continue to serve with honor and distinction. 2. We pay tribute to trailblazers like Loretta Walsh and Opha May Johnson, the first females to enlist in the Navy and the Marine Corps over a century ago. We celebrate innovative leaders, such as scientist Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, who was instrumental in the development of a computer programming language that is still used in government and business applications today. Their pioneering spirit shattered barriers and opened doors for many future leaders. These include Admiral Michelle Howard, the first Navy four -star admiral, Brigadier General Margaret Brewer, the first female general in Marine Corps history, and Steffanie Easter, the first civilian and woman to serve as the Director, Navy Staff Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. 3. The DON is committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive environment where women continue to serve at all levels of leadership. Currently, the DON's total force is comprised of more than 187,000 women serving in career fields such as combat arms, surface, subsurface, and aviation as well as engineering, technology, and mathematics. Women represent thirty percent of the DON's civilian leadership corps, including Senior Executive Service, Highly Qualified Experts, Scientific, and Senior Level positions. 4. The contributions of women have been integral to improving and sustaining mission readiness. Diverse teams offer varied perspectives and optimized solutions to today's challenges. As we celebrate this month, I encourage you to learn more about the contributions of all women to the DON total force and salute those that continue to shape the future. 5. Released by the Honorable Carlos Del Toro Secretary of the Navy.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//
