[Mr. Lucky]

The Caracal Battalion is, thus far, largely a training batallion. Members of the unit were involved in one hostile fire incident in 2012; a male soldier was killed while a female soldier was reprimanded for cowardice.

There are execptions to every rule and there are probably plenty of positions in combat units where women can play an important role, such as where gaining the confidance of local women or children is important. No experience of the Israeli Army, or any US unit, would indicate that women would make good fireteam leaders.
