Title Women on the front line Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet WeekendaVisen Media type Web Country/Territory Denmark Date 1/05/24 Description It was perhaps the most ambitious experiment of its kind ever: The US Marine Corps had set out to study how women would fare in combat troops, and the Corps set up a special battalion of 300 men and 100 women for the purpose. Over the course of a year, the unit was set to carry out various tasks that they would also face in war. It was everything from moving forward with a machine gun to moving back with a wounded comrade or changing the wheels of an armored vehicle. The tasks were carried out in small groups of soldiers with one or two women and the rest men, so that they could reflect the likely gender distribution in future wars, where, other things being equal, there will still be a preponderance of men.
