Fact: The movie G.I. Jane that portrayed a female entering the training for and becoming a U.S. Navy SEALs, is a fictional story. There are currently no women U.S. Navy SEALs, U.S. Army Rangers, or U.S. Army Special Forces (aka Green Beret). However, women serve throughout the SOF Community in a variety of important positions that include the various Support Battalions and the command levels. For instance, women serve in the support levels with the U.S. Navy SEALs, and the group levels in U.S. Army Special Forces. However, there are no women in the U.S. Army 75th Ranger Regiment because all individuals in the 75th go forward (i.e. to the front lines).

For information on historical women, from cultures and countries all over the world, fighting in battles, we recommend the book Warrior Women by David E. Jones.
