Each specialty which currently does not allow women will be reviewed. After that review any determination that it cannot be open to women will be reviewed by higher authorities. Note that some specialties have physical requirements that all members have to meet (lifting a certain amount of weight etc). Nothing has been said about changing them.

The law does not require or allow women to register for the draft.
