FORT BENNING, Ga., Nov. 23 (UPI) -- After putting them through a Ranger-based training exercise, the U.S. Army selected 31 female soldiers to act as advisers and observers for a possible assessment of Ranger School next year that would include men and women students, the Army says.
Of 46 volunteers, the Airborne and Ranger Training Brigade chose 11 female officers and 20 female non-commissioned officers based on their performance in a week-long exercise that featured obstacles faced by actual students in Ranger School.
