Por primera vez dos mujeres soldado se gradúan como 'rangers', cuerpo de élite del ejército estadounidense

In this US Army handout photo, Army soldiers, including women, conduct combatives training during the Ranger Course Assessment(RCA) on April 20, 2015 at Ft. Benning, Georgia. Two American women will on August 21, 2015 become the first female soldiers to graduate from the elite Ranger School combat leadership course, the military said. Graduates of the training program are some of the toughest and most physically fit soldiers in the US Army, trained in airborne and air assault operations. The women who graduate this week will still not be allowed to serve with the 75th Ranger Regiment, which has yet to lift its bar on female soldiers. But women are increasingly being permitted into combat roles in other US Army units. The notoriously challenging Ranger School welcomed women for the first time this year, following President Barack Obama's 2013 request that the Pentagon order all branches of the armed forces to open up ground combat roles to women by 2016.
