Abstract: A loop $(X,circ)$ is said to be a Bruck loop if it satisfies the (right) Bol identity $((zcircx)circy)circx=zcirc((xcircy)circx)$ and the automorphic inverse property $(xcircy{)}^{-1}=x^{-1}circ{y}^{-1}$. If $X$ is a finite Bruck loop and $G$ is the group generated by all right translations $R(x):ymapstoycircx$, then we show that $X$ and $G$ are central products $X=O^{2^{\prime }}(X)\ast O(X)$ and $G=O^{2^{\prime }}(G)\ast O(G)$, where $O^{2^{\prime }}(X)$ ($O^{2^{\prime }}(G)$) is the subloop (subgroup) generated by all 2-elements, and $O(X)$ ($O(G)$) is the largest normal subloop (subgroup) of odd order. In particular, if $X$ is solvable, then these central products are direct products. We also give a set of necessary conditions that must hold for a finite Bruck loop $X$ to be nonsolvable but have each proper section solvable; in particular, $X$ must be simple and consist of 2-elements, while the quotient of $G$ by its largest normal 2-subgroup must be isomorphic to $PG{L}_2(q)$, with $q=2^n+1geq5$.
