Movers & Shakers - A remarkable achievement for women in the military: Maj. Gen. Maria Barrett and younger sister Brig. Gen. Paula Lodi are the ​first two sisters in the Army's 244-year history to become generals! 🥳 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Women account for approximately 16% of the military's active-duty force of 1.3 million and only 69 of the 417 generals are women. Our sincerest congratulations to these remarkable women.
