In what appears as a radical renovation of Army rules, women will be permitted to participate in front-line combat within the next few months.
Prime Minister David Cameron, has ordered the Ministry of Defence to be prepared to welcome female soldiers into “close combat” roles in 2016.
Most recently, India had declared that the first batch of Indian women will begin to train as fighter pilots of the Indian Air Force (IAF) in 2016; the first Indian women combat pilots could most probably be in the cockpits of frontline fighter jets of IAF in June 2017.
It seems slow, but surely the glass ceiling that existed for many years has started to break as women will not be seen in roles in the Army that was once forbidden for them.
