This is 3 years old; but, will give you an overview (you know how to search the specifics).

Why Can't Women Serve at the Front?

As for why this hasn't changed, ask Obama. He could change it with the stroke of a pen. It's not in the Constitution, it's not a law, it's just a matter of public policy.

The DOD has required the services to integrate women into the remaining closed positions by the beginning of next year, but the department has no plans to monitor progress after that date, the GAO said.
Except for the Navy saying OK, except for three classes of small ships that would be too expensive to retrofit and are close to the end of their service life, none of the branches have objected to the deadline. There's no need for Obama to intercede.
