Question:

What about women who haven’t previously been in the military?

Is there any info applicable to that?

And what about women between 45 and 65?

What about women who haven’t previously been in the military?

If you're interested in a state defense force, and your state has one, I don't believe there are any gender restrictions.

Most SDFs appear to be primarily non-combat focused.

The images posted of the Ohio Military Reserve show many women serving. In Ohio, the age cutoff at the top appears to be 60, but other states may vary.

I would think that SDFs would be an excellent opportunity for women to serve their state.
