I will add this, the women in my units who could and did hang with the men, were usually very good physical specimens, often had sports backgrounds or were very active growing up, and almost all of them were competitive af. These girls were highly respected (and usually drooled over) by the men, but then hated by the females. Shitty lose lose for them but damn were they hot.
It's like college, but with combat!
We had this one girl, she was a sprinter her entire life, got pregnant, still did PT till her third tri, daily 4 milers and all. Popped that baby out and was back running in 3 weeks, after 5 week she was ripped again and calling cadence, If I hadn't seen how amazing a fit body can pop out a child and then soldier on like that with my own eyes I would have never believed it possible. The human body is fucking amazing when honed to it's full potential.
I was offered to change my MOS to become a female army boxer, lol. I ran my 2 miles in under 12 minutes. Prior to basic, I was offered 2 scholarships, Eastern Michigan U for track, and Oakland University for volleyball. I actually got out of shape in the military, lol.
