This is a special news wire for the female members of this forum.
There is a great example for them. We all know the Lioness program, in Iraq (article link). Females are used to search local females, since muslim law forbids male to do so.
For the first time since the begining of the War Against Terrorism in Afghanistan, there is another team. Embedded with the 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, the grounf combat element of Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force Afghanistan, they help the Marines get in touch with the locals. Normaly, Marines patrols are composed of males. The new team "provides access to half of the population that they normally do not have access to".
