When I was doing my officer training one of the best tacticians I've ever met was a female. Not only that but she was excellent in the field. I would happily serve beside her in an Infantry Battalion. She ended up as a troop commander in a signals unit as females are not allowed in Australian arms corps units.
However - Recently 3 women have become gunners in Artillery units in a ground breaking change with Australian Army gender regulations. The first major change occurred when the change was made to allow women to serve in Combat Engineer units. The final bastion of men in the Army is now the infantry and armour... but that'll change no doubt.
