Alot of "Western" militaries allow women in all combat arms as long as they can hack the physical requirments... so Infatry, Tank Crews, Artillery in addition to what AlphaSigOU listed above... however that doesn't mean that they don't meet with resistance (my basic was the first with women), but it is important to note that women have served with disticntion when forced to in the past (WW2 on the Eastern Front for example). The one important fact I liked to point out : women's muscular structure gives them greater hand-eye cooridination for fine movements, which is why they make frighteningly effective snipers; the record holder for confirmed kills is a former Olympic shooter from Serbia (going by the name Arrow), when I was there back 94-95 I believe she was credited with well over 200 kills.
