Plain-English Summary

Women who served in female cultural support teams embedded with military units in Afghanistan and Iraq would receive official military credit and recognition for their service, which could affect their eligibility for veterans' benefits and honors. Currently, many of these women are not recognized as official service members even though they worked directly with combat troops in dangerous conditions. The change would ensure they receive the same veteran status and benefits as other military personnel who served in similar roles.
