Front-line pregnancies reduce combat effectiveness and costs lives
You're also going to have different equipment requirements
Which is a logistics thing again
Women *mostly* won't be able to physically carry all the weight required
To an extent @Joshu
Women do in fact need different plate carriers
They have tits
Seriously
Which then means, either they go in with less, which cuts effectiness OR requires someone else in the section to carry that equipment
Which fatigues them.
Male plate carriers are really really unsuitable for a women's figure
From the point of view of them being in front-line, then yes, it does seem safe to bring them out of that area entirely. This is because it would just not be worth the investment. But, and i cannot say this enough, there are other departments for women to go into to where they can be of use. Support roles being one (even if it isn't in the military itself, but helping them)
Plus it's a lot of money to get all those custom pink rifles 😃
Like ive said
Women in non front line is absolutely fine
For the most part there is no real difference
If they're deployed into an enviroment where supplies could become an issue, then no.
The 'homefront' is where women should serve.
That's it.
For example, a drone pilot at an RAF base really doesnt affect the supply lines
for example
Not to mention the post war recovery, if you have lost 50% of your male population then no big deal, you can bounce back in a generation or two. If you lose 50% of your female population though you are up shits creak.
Cooks
Armourers
We're already up shits creak @4SidedTriangle
Engineers
Etc
All fine
All roles which can require front-line service
Artillary also.
Front-lines are dynamic and often change
I speak from a little experience here
You are SOLDIERS first, then your appointed role
Last ditch only
Every person in the military is trained as a soldier.
That's their primary role.
Applies to Navy, Airforce, Army.
Well yes, however stop a second
Devils advocate here, what about women in front line rolls in the TA with no overseas deployment?
Listen, the primary issue is during intense front line situations.
