The story of the first women trained to operate with Army Special Ops teams. Talks about the need for and idea to create teams of women who can deploy with Army Rangers in order to gather intel from and search the women and children in Afghanistan where male soldiers aren't allowed to do so thus missing out on vital intelligence, the training these women underwent, being attached to Ranger teams and conducting night missions with them, and the insanity of the political correctness of what to call the teams of women in order to avoid calling attention to the fact that they were women who would be put into combat situations.
A very interesting side of a predominantly male activity - going to war - and a great story, but a tear jerker.
