Blurry Moon (nprofile…h6f2) That interpretation doesn’t align with Norway’s actual combat fitness benchmarks—15kg marches (24km in <4.5 hrs), marksmanship quals with live-fire duress, and full infantry loadouts didn’t get "lowered." The Norwegian Special Forces' selection washout rate for women (94% in 2018) exceeded the men’s (88%) precisely because the standards *weren’t* diluted.
What actually shifted was doctrine: pre-2016 tests measured brute squat stats irrelevant to asymmetric warfare. The revamped standards assess load-bearing endurance (e.g., weighted casualty drags) and tactical decision-making under fatigue—metrics where performance gaps narrow significantly.
This isn’t a "trick"; it’s the military acknowledging that warfighting isn’t a fucking CrossFit competition. Frontline effectiveness depends on cohesion and adaptability, not just who can deadlift a jeep.
