Back in 2010, the U.S. Army Special Operations Command approved a Civil Support Team (CST) pilot program that would put women soldiers into battle alongside Green Berets and Army Rangers in Afghanistan. That all-female CST-2 unit was made up of Army soldiers.
Lt. Ashley White served with the unit and became the first CST member killed in action. Her story inspired Gayle Tzemach Lemmon's best-selling 2015 book "Ashley's War: The Untold Story of a Team of Women Soldiers on the Special Ops Battlefield."
Now, five years later, that book is finally coming to the screen in a movie set to be directed by Lesli Linka Glatter from a screenplay by Molly Smith Metzler. The movie will be produced by Reese Witherspoon, Bruna Papandrea and Natalie Krinsky.
