 Why women absolutely belong in the US military's special operations forces

    Operating environments are evolving, and special-operations forces must evolve too, including the evolution of certain norms and standards of what traditionally comprises a SOF professional.

    It is the author's opinion that the physical standards for such roles do not need to be the same for men and women. Standards should instead reflect the reasonable demands of the roles future SOF professionals are expected to fill.
 

SOFREP recently published an exclusive piece covering the journey of the first female candidate set to graduate the Special Forces Qualification Course and earn her coveted green beret — an amazing achievement. Similarly, recent years have seen the services open their previously male-exclusive roles, including the opportunity to attend Ranger School and others, to women as well.

There are CLEARLY roles for women in SF operations like Delta. Almost solely in intelligence gathering via electronic means,but there ARE times when a undercover male intelligence operative on a scouting mission could use a woman companion to help provide him cover by walking with him as he did his scouting.

Guards just pay less attention to a couple walking by than to a lone male of military age and appearance.

They should NEVER be allowed to wear a Beret because they can NEVER hope to qualify by the same physical standards as the males. If you can't throw your 200 lb wounded teammate across your shoulders and run to safety with him,you should never be allowed on an operational team,regardless of gender,sex,or who you may be related to.
