The one undeniable fact that has prevented Women from serving in the Infantry is the issue of strength. Biologically Women are not as strong as Men. You can find examples of where this isn't true but as a rule its just simply the way things are.
So how do you defeat biology in a physically demanding field? You do it with technology. And the long in development Squad Mission Support System is just the thing to help push open a door that has remained closed.
Even with this system (and others like it) the physicality required will be difficult to overcome and I truly believe that it will cripple some Women (its done it to Guys). But we'll see. Now glance at the pic below and imagine a 130 pound female cross fit athlete dealing with that load. Gym strength and military strength are two different things.
