 Unlike women of the past who were only supposed to be in support roles since they in the rear, female warfighters today find themselves on the front lines more now than ever before. Because the battlefield is more asymmetric, the lines that divide the front lines from the rear are blurred, and women must play a bigger role training, leading and developing soldiers into future leaders. I have females that are sitting in a team leader position, in a squad leader position and they're operating as a member of a fire team. So we are not just the ones that sit in the back anymore, we're actually leading troops and leading a team, and hopefully winning the battle out there with the rest of our soldiers. As more positions open up to women, it's no surprise that fellow soldiers find their evolution within the military limitless. Female warfighters role now I think is whatever they want it to be. I think it's a good thing, it's the same, it's equal with the male soldiers. With the band lifted on women in combat arms jobs, Holcomb said she sees women taking charge in combat jobs that they haven't yet been charged with. For the First Corps Field Report, I'm Army Sergeant Nidia Cruz.
