We didn't have women at the battalion level or lower in 5th Group. As far as I know, all of the other Groups were the same. They were all at Group (essentially brigade), and even then, I think it was probably less than 10 in all of 5th Group. I got out at the end of 2008 though, so maybe a lot changed in the last decade and a half?There are 2,300 women serving in Army special operations -- mostly in support roles -- making up 8% of a military community that includes Special Forces and Rangers. However, fewer than 10 women are Green Berets, with the first coming from the National Guard three years ago.

Btw, I dont think women belong on Special Forces. Just pointing out that there are some there.
And make no mistake, any women making it through selection and the Q course are 100% politically driven. We had lots of rock stars that were support that would give it a go and wash out. We're talking already tops of the military, had the experience of working with the teams and being coached by them, and still not making it. Shit, most of the time you'd know some of the guys at selection since you worked with them already.
