Abstract：
:To date, there has been no analysis of the skills or attributes predicting success in female trainees who undergo traditionally male elite military training. This retrospective case control study characterized variables specific to females in the Special Operations Combat Medic course. 20/39 males and 15/38 females successfully completed the course. Several objective variables of interest including height and body weight, marital status, dependents, and physical fitness scores revealed trends but marital status and dependents were the only variables that achieved statistical significance. Exploration of subjective measures also highlighted potential trends in upper body strength and personal versus behavioral issues. These variables should be explored further for applicability to altering selection criteria or adjusting training conditions to mitigate sex disparities without altering standards of performance or creating an imbalance of resource investment for intended returns. The variables identified in this sample can be explored in other populations as females are integrated in other previously closed realms of military service.
