Anyone who has been in the Army or Marines has already gotten a taste of this. Women train along with the males in introductory infantry training.
My assessment - putting aside the moral and social implications, and ignoring the obvious logistical problems with having men and women practically sleeping on top of each other...the vast majority of women do not have the stength or endurance of the average, or even below average man.
The counter-argument is always that there are a few women who are big and strong. But, I didn’t find any of them in the military.
There’s probably a reason that there are no women NFL players, MLB players, NBA players (not WNBA btw), etc. There’s probably a reason the Olympics are broken up into ‘mens’ and ‘womens’ events. There’s probably a reason that there are scandals involving men posing as women in some sports, to gain an advantage.
Will this ‘commission’ ignore the very obvious truth that men are bigger and stronger than women? Sure, there are lots of jobs in the military which require strength; but, infantry aint one of them.

That is so obvious, but not, apparently, to everyone.
