Women are not generally in "Combat Arms" positions in the Army. There are no women in Infantry, canon Field Artillery, or Armor. The Army does have women helicopter pilots.

While women are not in most direct combat units, support units in a combat zone do come under attack. Numerous supply convoys have come under attack.

Today's battlefield is fluid...there is NO "rear" anymore. If you recall during Desert Strom..one of the SCUDS landed on a NG quartermaster HQ in Kuwait, I believe..there were a dozen female soldiers killed..

Judging from the past attacks,any woman is in a combat zone in Iraq.
Trust me,women can fight.I knew a female deputy that could handle any situation that arose.She was a deadly weapon with a baton and Glock.
I believe we had some women awarded medals in the Gulf War.
