Female Combat Troops Will Link to Afghan Women for New York National Guard's ...

FORT DRUM, NY (06/07/2011)(readMedia)-- In what will be a first for the National Guard, a group of female National Guard Soldiers will deploy to Afghanistan attached to combat units as cultural mediators.

Dubbed a "Female Engagement Team," they will travel with the 27th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, march and fight as they do, and then talk to Afghan women in an effort to understand their concerns.

"If female Afghans can be engaged, that opens up the other half of the population," says 1st Lt. Kristen Rouse, platoon leader for the 2nd Battalion, 108th Infantry Regiment's FET. "What the FET team offers is that we will enable the commanders to get to know the terrain of their operations in a more fair way."

Other National Guard units have created Female Engagement Teams, but the teams being organized by the 27th BCT will deploy already attached to an infantry battalion.

Due to local custom, males in Afghanistan are not allowed to speak to females unless they are married. Because modern counter-insurgency doctrine advocates interacting and building trust with locals, military units, starting with the Marines in 2009, have begun sending females troops on combat missions as mediators.

The goal is for each FET to build relations within the various villages in their area, and to use this trust not only to find "atmospheric" intelligence on how people feel about various issues, but also to direct them to information on health concerns.

While female Soldiers had previously accompanied combat squads, what makes this unit unique is that each female is dedicated solely to the FET mission.

"Generally, it's been as an additional duty," Rouse, Brooklyn, N.Y., native, said. "On my last deployment, we had female soldiers, but I needed them to be mechanics, I needed them to be truck drivers. I couldn't spare them. They had full-time jobs. So to say, I want you to do FET, too, that's pretty hard to do and still have a functioning unit."

Rouse's unit currently has ten members from various units within the 27th IBCT, with plans to expand once volunteers are found. Shared among the members was a sense of humanitarian vocation. One of those volunteers said that the reason she and her sister joined came from a desire to improve the lives of Afghan women.

"We both discussed it and decided to volunteer," said Spc. Serena Barone, an Amsterdam, N.Y., native who joined with her sister, Staff Sgt. Theresa Barone-Lopez. "I think that women in the United States have a lot of freedom and Afghan women don't. And I want to help in some way.
