To honor women's service in the IDF in celebration of International Women's Day, the following is a collection of some of the interesting and noteworthy roles women are taking on throughout their service. Women have served in the IDF since its inception, and in Israeli defense organizations before the creation of the State of Israel (exceptional women such as Hannah Senesh and Sarah Aaronsohn, for example). Each year, 1,500 female combat soldiers are drafted into the IDF, a number which has remained consistent in recent years. Female soldiers also play crucial roles in command and control, commanding positions, and many others.
Was browsing around some of my files and came over this photo. It's of a Swedish policewoman in the 1970s, and apart from anything else, I must say that uniform, the whole look of the young lady, as just supreme, quite classy and elegant.
Might be a repost, but I honestly don't remember seing it here before.

During the tournament, units from all branches and commands in the IDF compete in different disciplines, such as navigation on foot, hand-to-hand combat ("krav maga"), shooting under duress, and various physical fitness tests.
