They marched under the heat with 40-pound rucksacks on their backs.
They fired M16s out of the windows of military vehicles, defending
their units in deadly firefights. And they did things that their
male counterparts could never do--gather intelligence on the
Taliban from the women of Afghanistan. As females they could
circumvent Muslim traditions and cultivate relationships with
Afghan women who were bound by tradition not to speak with American
military men. And their work in local villages helped empower
Afghan women, providing them with the education and financial tools
necessary to rebuild their nation--and the courage to push back
against the insurgency that wanted to destroy it. For the women
warriors of the military's Female Engagement Teams (FET) it was
dangerous, courageous, and sometimes heartbreaking work. Beyond the
Call follows the groundbreaking journeys of three women as they
first fight military brass and culture and then enemy fire and
tradition. And like the men with whom they served, their battles
were not over when they returned home.
