The Pentagon is expected to make changes in its benefits policy for same-sex couples.
The agency will reportedly begin granting same-sex spouses of service members benefits that have been blocked.
Those include housing on military bases, military ID cards, and consideration of a same-sex spouse and family in duty assignments.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is expected to make the announcement this week.
Panetta's likely replacement Chuck Hagel says he supports the move.
