“The Special Forces Assessment and Selection process, and subsequent Special Forces qualification training are very challenging experiences — experiences that can be made more difficult with the additional pressure that often comes with focused media attention on particular individuals due to their race, color, gender, religion, national origin, and sexual orientation,” Lt.

The first female ever to try out for the Army’s elite 75th Ranger Regiment has flunked out, but will get the opportunity to try again later this year.

Female candidates are allowed to attend Special Forces selection. But many are forced to wait for indeterminate periods of time before attending.
The Army selection panel had reviewed the application packets of seven female officers. Of those, two were approved for the SFAS class, he said.
