Ahhh my mistake, I commented half asleep. You’re talking about ranger as in poaching ranger not Army Rangers.

I support women in combat roles (If they can do everything physically required of them) but found that the Australian government pushes women through infantry training, letting them get away with not completing the required fitness tests males have to complete before going to their unit all because of PC. As you know war doesn’t discriminate and if you can’t meet the standards which are in place for a reason you’ll most likely get someone killed. I’m sure if you were doing selection and one of the males in class couldn’t meet the standards he would be booted off course. There’s been multiple cases where I’ve seen women that can’t meet the standards and the men have had to carry all of their equipment during a pack march or ruck march whatever you guys call it.

That being said. Are the fitness standards for the all female ranger units the same as the male or different? Are there any mixed M/F ranger units and again are they required to meet the same standards as the men?
