| Women play a vital role in today’s Army and there is about 3,000 women assigned to the First Team. They are the Soldiers on the front-line; they are leaders, officers and noncommissioned officers standing with our troops; as well as employers, spouses, mothers and sisters who offer critical support to our Troopers. To celebrate this month, the 1st Cavalry Division highlights the women tankers of 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team.
