My guess is that there will be ‘concessions’ during the mountain and Eglin AFB phase. What bothers me most is what precisely is this supposed to accomplish?

No, the USMC Infantry Officer course just closed to women after 18 mos of unsuccessful attempts by woman Marines. They kept the bar high, as do all special forces type programs. The US Army Ranger school has a lot of prestige at stake, I doubt the Army will roll over so easily, the USMC did not either.

I doubt any females will make it. If they do, I do not see any real value for them- they will be an anomaly in a support field anyway.
