This is the face that has changed the US Army forever
Capt.
Kristen Griest prepares with her classmates for an Airborne Jump as
part of their training at the Ranger Course on Ft. Benning Ga., June 27,
2015.
There's about to be a, "Yes, ma'am," in an Army infantry unit.
After earning the coveted black-and-gold Ranger tab in August 2015, US Army Capt. Kristen Griest, 26, will once again make history by becoming the first female infantry officer, the Army said.
Griest will become the first woman to lead an infantry unit into combat.
"I think it's awesome," US Marine Corps Cpl. Harlee Bradford told Business Insider. Bradford was one of the first women to train in the first gender-integrated, notoriously grueling Marine Corps' Infantry Training Battalion in 2013.
