The study, “The Marine Corps Force Integration Plan,” found that the mixed-gender unit was injured twice as often as an all-male unit, was less accurate with infantry weapons, and was less efficient at removing wounded troops from the battlefield.
What's the scoop with Canada? Fully or partially integrated?

Fully, some successes, more failures. Females tend not to gravitate toward the Infantry, a scattering of ladies are found across the Infantry Regular Force. More in the reserves, most want nothing to do with it as a full time occupation. In my experience it has created some issues, none of them good.
That being said, two females just passed the US Ranger course which is one of the toughest courses run in the US Army with a huge attrition rate of candidates.
As well, the Israelis have had wild success with females in their combat units so they're definitely doing something right with how they have done it.
