HI SCR8

Requests the President and United States Congress to immediately repeal military combat exclusionary rules that prohibit women from serving in combat positions.

Cites studies showing 30% of military women are raped, 71% are sexually assaulted, and 90% are sexually harassed during service, with approximately 90% of sexual assaults never reported.

Argues combat exclusionary rules are not based on women's proven abilities, prevent women from promotions available in male-only combat specialties, and do not actually keep women out of combat zones.

States that military leadership has acknowledged combat exclusionary rules degrade both morale and readiness and that women have served effectively in dangerous roles for decades.

Directs certified copies be sent to the President, Secretary of Defense, Congressional leaders, and Hawaii's congressional delegation.
