That is a low standard. Defense is less physically demanding than offense. To oversimplify it- you pick a good spot, set up good fields of fire, dig in, and wait for the SHTF.
It is the offense, moving by foot over distance and rough terrain (mountains, swamp, forest, jungle, etc...). Carry a heavy load that distance that can exceed 100 lbs of gear. Once you arrive, drop the gear where told, then advance to overrun some other poor bastard and make the SHTF for them.
There are few things in life more physically demanding and draining than an infantry foot march over distance and terrain.
Yeah, let them try assaulting uphill with a Pig and 600 rounds of 7.62 x 51.
In the heat, at night.
I’m sorry what I meant was they should focus on their current available MOS and not try to qualify women in combat units and meet those standards.
Its enough to be able to defend their position should the need arise.
