Paul, check the FETs (Female Engagement Teams). That's what the Lioness Teams are called now. And JSOC (according to Strategypage) has gotten in on this-they were borrowing women from other units to handle interactions with local females-and those units didn't like that because they needed some women for the same purpose. JSOC is recruiting women for their FETs-and the training course is similar to SOF-lots of physical training, shooting, tactical training, along with the necessary work on local customs, religion, mannerisms, etc. The attrition rate is about 50%, according to the strategypage article.
