Jacqueline Feeney, 22 yr old machinist, is the first female recruit in the California Army National Guard to be sworn into a combat arms role today, June 12th at Cal Guard’s Joint Forces Headquarters. She is sworn in by Brig. Gen. Laura Yeager, also a prominent Cal Guard female first. Yeager will make history when she assumes command of the 40th Infantry Division, June 29th. Feeney’s unit falls under the 40th, a division led by only men since it was formed in 1917. She is pictured with her future senior leadership: Pictured from left to right: Brig. Gen.
