The Army's Third Infantry Division has added scores of female soldiers to newly created ''forward support companies" that provide maintenance, food service, and other support services to infantry, armor, and Special Forces units that commonly engage in combat. ''The Third ID is the first unit to deploy with the reconfiguration, so this will be the first time where this is in question."
The Army, for its part, is closely watching the Third Infantry Division deployment. According to the December briefing by Woods, the Army will ''incorporate lessons learned from Third ID into future decisions on policy affecting assignment and utilization of women soldiers."
''They are able to bond with men or pick up and shoot an automatic weapon when that is necessary. They have no problem living hard in the field," Manning said. ''All those old excuses for why women can't be in combat are falling by the wayside."
''The general take is that they are doing very, very well," said Manning of The Women's Research & Education Institute.

Both Manning and the reporter's language is extremely deceptive in suggesting that women are doing combat arms jobs.
