			  What is a "front line combat position" ?
    Most humans thinks infantry with an M-4 pointed at the enemy and that's it.
    However a standard definition is position(s) closest to the area of conflict of an armed force's personnel and equipment.  In the US ARMY it is called "Combat Arms" and includes infantry, field artillery, air defense artillery, aviation, armor, special forces, and combat engineers.
    Would Field Artillery meet the "front line combat" definition?  Armor?  I know plenty of Israeli women in armor units, drivers, gunners and commanders.  
    Front-line as described by the US military?  Yes.
    Every single known position?  No.  Only one's who can achieve competencies without altering the standard.
