Women in Combat: We Have the Technology

US military is one of the most high-tech fighting forces that the world has ever seen. The tools and weapons that men use in combat can be used just as easily by women.

The reason American soldiers are so effective, outside of their training, is the high-tech arsenal at their fingertips – an arsenal that would be just as effective in the hands of female troops.

With billions in R&D spending each year, and a host of contractors developing new weapons systems and other high-tech advances, the US Military is evolving rapidly. Alongside drones, land-based robots are being deployed for all sorts of tasks.

The battlefield itself is morphing into something very different from what it once was. We’re no longer fighting trench warfare. Modern wars are often fought in urban settings, and modern troops deploy all sorts of high-tech weaponry.
