In fact Soviet military used females in every combat role, in segregated units mostly.
The results were atrocious, but for female personnel mostly, not the the Germans and Japanese.
In fact all the aspects of female deployment were researched well at the time. I don’t know why US government is implementing another communist practice which has proved to be a failure for communists themselves.
There were roles, there females proved on par or more capable than males, but there were really few roles like that.
By 1944 Soviets mostly employed women in air forces (ground attack) and air defences (aa-gunners).
Army used them predominately as medics and specops (as hunter-killer snipers).
Before that female marines were sinking in droves under weight of their equipment as they tried to get out of landing crafts, soldiers were shot in their backs running away from their positions screaming after a single mortar round falling and female tank crews weren’t fit enough to fix a tank track under fire.
Even a Soviet tolerance to a losses had it’s limits.

“I don’t know why US government is implementing another communist practice which has proved to be a failure for communists themselves.”

We do indeed know why. This madness is impelled by the implicit/explicit instructions from our marxist c-in-c, his cultural marxist coterie and unprincipled and gutless generals whose actions are utterly uninformed by the history that most of them surely know and who desire to remain on the right side of promotions and assignments.

We urgently need the Billy Mitchells and Smedly Butlers that seem to be non existant in the general/admiral ranks.
