Army Girls Of Israeli Defense Forces

Some distinguished recruits are selected to be trained in order to eventually become members of special forces units. Every brigade in the IDF has its own special force branch.
Uniquely among nations, Israel conscripts women and assigns some drafted women to infantry combatant service which places them directly in the line of enemy fire. However, approximately one third of female conscripts (more than double the figure for men) are exempted, mainly for religious and nuptial reasons.
Following their active service, women, like men, have, in theory, to serve up to one month annually in reserve duty. However, in practice only some women get called for active reserve, and only for a few years following their active service, with many exit points (e.g., pregnancy).
