Most of what the women do is the same as the men. There are a few weight adjustments, but in something like MCMAP (Marine Corps Martial Arts Program) the women fight against the men. My daughter (Sgt, USMC) is in one of the higher MCMAP ranks, and between that, being qualified in M-16’s, M-9’s, M-1014’s and a few other things she doesn’t tell me about, you probably would not want to get on her bad side.

It is physically impossible for the average woman to compete in strenght tests with average men and unreasonable to believe they can. There will be outliers, but the average man carries significantly more muscle mass on a larger frame. Pretending to have equal combat requirements and capabilities is ludicrous.

The average man with MCMAP skills would likely kick the crap out of the average woman with the same skill set.

I wouldn't want to get on your daughters bad side, but I'm not a 20 year old kid any longer.
