Heroines! China’s female soldiers in training

The first female special forces unit of the 38th Army Group of the People’s Liberation Army recently organized its special operation members to conduct military skill training in a bid to improve their combat capability.

The female soldiers must meet all the same requirements as male soldiers. They conduct drills to practice parachuting, air landing, sniping, team combat and collaborative counterterrorism, among other skills. The female unit is currently conducting six months of field exercises.
