"Traditionally women have been kept at a distance from the front lines, but in Afghanistan there are no front lines. The fight is everywhere… and it’s nowhere. The combatants may be staying in the shadows or hiding in plain sight. And since there’s no battlefield per se in Helmand Province, women are serving in the U.S. military here in a variety of roles.
One of those women is 21-year-old Da’Shonda Shedd, an Army Private First Class from Marieta, Georgia, on her first Tour of Duty. She’s a Combat Engineer and her unit is working in support of the Marines 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion at Forward Operating Base Payne in Southern Afghanistan."
