Military review of fitness standards will find array of tests, but higher requirements for combat.
Pete Hegseth has been very public about his opposition to women in combat jobs and his belief standards were lowered to accommodate women.
The effort is seen as a broadside against women serving on the frontlines.
It raises questions about whether he wants to make fitness tests the same for the services.
A wide array of standards and requirements have been adjusted for reasons ranging from religious tolerance to recruiting and evolving societal trends.
In large part, they are driven by recruiting struggles and the need to woo those from a changing universe of American young people.
The Navy , for example, began in 2022 to enlist more recruits who score very low on the Armed Services Qualification Test .
