They are people and they range like the rest of us. Some are better soldiers than others, some are faster, some are stronger, some are smarter but all of them can function as a unit in whatever way helps the core best. A large part of basic is placement. They don't lump everyone together, they are assigned to a specific unit that suits the core best and there is no reason to deny anyone from contributing their part IF they make the cut.

but yeah, making 'gender neutral' titles is ridiculous.
So long as they're not asked to go into the front line unless they can perform all tasks like a man.

The front line is not what you imagine. It's about killing and being killed.
