Specific Groups and the Military

The focus of this page is on specific groups serving in the military, but may also include their relationship to the military (for example, efforts to be allowed to serve, etc.).

The guide was originally based on specific topics of past student research. Many of the groups listed here need more research and we will be adding information as we can.
