For the essential services of the forces like emergency medical help, care of the wounded, and transportation of martyrs to a safe place, it is allowed to take the women to the battlefield. For the purposes mentioned above, a very careful selection of females should be made. The military administration should make sure that the presence of female members is not a hindrance in the performance of duties or affecting the morals of the soldiers.
