Have the women with combat jobs in the Rangers and Special Forces actually been fighting along side men?

I'm going to go ahead and say yes. Six of my female battles were attached to either Civil Affairs or PSYOPS and one of them was borrowed by 2nd Marine Division to replace a corpsman who had a real-world emergency. All six of them had to shoot, move, and communicate while doing their jobs. So yes.

It's a decent question but the answers will be all over the place.

If you are referring to the two female Army Rangers that were pushed through the training to meet one of Obama's goals, I'd like to know that answer. The posts some of the men in their squad made were not reassuring. I'd even like to know if the whole thing was true or some made up social media trash.

I've met a few women that could kick ass. Whether they are in elite military jobs is another matter.

But who cares? Modern military equipment can be operated by almost any individual, and gender status doesn't matter in all but the most physically strenuous jobs. That's right, I said it.

There are a lot more men than women in physically demanding jobs because of the obvious differences in physique and tone. Does it not mean there could be an Army of Amazons out there? No.

My take on any job in the services has always been this: If you can legitimately pass the physical requirements, you are qualified to do the job regardless of gender.

So if more women can meet the training requirements to kick ass and take names, I say great!

It is interesting that so much publicity came out when female soldiers were allowed to join special forces and the outcry of the public not that long ago.....Female soldiers have been serving in combat roles for a long time. Some of the best soldier I served beside have been female. They were serving in combat roles long before they were allowed to try for special forces in the MP Corp for as long as I can remember.

Lots of BS, but no one has answered the question - are there any confirmed cases of the graduates of these schools actually fulfilling combat billets?

If there are no woman on the Super Bowl teams during the Super Bowl that should tell you something. If you lose in the Super Bowl you are still alive the next weekend. Kind of puts all that propaganda in it's place.

Opening those jobs to women is just an administrative step. Women going on missions with our special operations forces has been going on for many years. They may not have had the MOS but they were cross trained or trained up for doing certain missions. When an SF Mike team goes into a village, they will take female soldiers to work with the local women. Our SEAL teams in Iraq as part of their protection detail for the Iraqi govt utilized our females to do security checks on females coming into Iraqi govt venues & facilities. And yes, females have gotten trigger time, been wounded, & even killed on these missions. They have been performing with respect & dignity for several decades.

Yes! I have friends who were members of the cultural support team (CST), who served with the Rangers in their units in Afghanistan! They carry the same load, the same weapons, fought beside them, and when they took over a town searching for insurgence it was the CST’s who were assigned, with an interpreter, to get information from the women and children of the village. They had to go through pretty tough training, and if you want to read a book that is first-hand about a few of these women, the book is called, Ashley’s War.

They are just as much for show as the countless other MOS that are part of the Ranger Regiment and do not see Combat. That is to say, they are NOT for show.
And if you took the time to do some research instead of typing this garbage, you would see that YES, there currently are female 75th Regiment Rangers leading Rangers in Combat Operations (CPT Coss) and at least one Green Beret in an ODA in the 10th SOG.

To actually answer your question from 4 months ago as I read it , "have any female Soldiers been awarded the combat MOS(s) severed along side male Soldiers with the same MOS in combat units ? " While I have been out for some time I have visited my old unit as recently as June of this year. While a pretty good size sampling of female Soldiers have been awarded combat MOS(s) the ones that had that MOS in my old unit were assigned to the head quarters and not in the infantry squads or teams. So seeing a fully integrated infantry squad doing Infantry stuff appears to be a goal for teh future. Keeping in mind this is all second hand info and your milage may vary. When you cut through the MACHO and virtue signaling BS you tend to see the ground truth. I will await to see if everything becomes equal to include the draft before I settle for a fair answer.

Should be easy to find out. Just ask a Green Beanie or a former engagement team member. Either they (WACs) went for cover or they started banging away.
