While women’s representation in many western military forces is increasing, the composition of troop contributions to NATO operations is not following suit, despite policy commitments acknowledging the importance of diversity in operations. Mission Marginalized: Gender Bias in NATO Operations explores the gender operating context of NATO. Determining what factors influence women’s military deployments and participation is essential to meet NATO and member states’ ongoing commitments to gender equality. Using a mixed-method approach comprised of interview data with NATO elites and Canadian and Danish force generators, and a survey of military members from Canada and Denmark, I assess common explanations for barriers to women’s participation in “masculine” occupations. I ar gue that hidden organizational resistances – organizational biases that manifest as perceptions and processes that hinder women’s participation – that comprise military organizational cultures, influence women’s deployment on NATO operations. These resistances are taken for granted and considered unchanging elements of military service, and include gendered assumptions held by force generators, the force generation process, and a hands-off approach to committing to more women on operations by NATO and the case countries of Canada and Denmark. In short: it is not simply a lack of women available to deploy. The dynamics at play are much more complex.
