A007_C024_0101M9

Nach der Einführung der Wehrpflicht auch für Frauen in Norwegen (als erstem und bislang einzigen NATO-Mitgliedsstaat) im vergangenen Jahr gehen die Streitkräfte des skandinavischen Landes jetzt einen Schritt weiter: Seit dem 1. März werden unter den Wehrdienst leistenden Frauen Kandidaten für die Spezialkräfte gesucht. Von der offiziellen Webseite (Gugel-Übersetzung):

(Herzlichen Dank für den Leserhinweis aus Norwegen!)

Ich bin mir zwar nicht ganz sicher, ob die hier angesprochene Verwendung aus deutscher Nomenklatur als Spezialkräfte oder spezialisierte Kräfte angesehen wird; aber das wissen etliche meiner Leser bestimmt genauer. Das Vorgehen scheint mir – abgesehen von der Wehrpflicht – ähnlich wie beim deutschen KSK, wo auch gezielt Frauen rekrutiert werden.
