Women in SOF are being inducted in combat roles all over the world. It doesn't have to be the positions that require full participation in covert missions or counter insurgency.
There are some very specialized roles in SOF environment where women can outperform men. One of those areas is 'house searches'.
Trivial as it may sound to some, the need to have fully trained female SOF operatives magnifies in unconventional urban environments or in COIN operations when the SOF team needs to body search the females or kids for potential explosives strapped on to them by the insurgents etc
There are other roles where females are best suited like in female medic role for female injured civilians etc.
Small steps in this direction are already being taken by SOF/SWAT units in the federal police etc. However, i feel that there is need for training a small batch of female SOF operators by the top tier the Pakistani SOF apparatus, like in the SSG.
What are your opinions?
