The two-ship formation consisted of all females, two pilots and two weapons system officers, but more importantly, it marked the first combat mission flown from Bagram to be planned, maintained and flown entirely by females.

This mission represents the first combat sortie on record to involve only female Airmen from the pilots and weapons officers to the mission planners and maintainers, said Lt. Col. Kenneth Tilley, the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing historian.
I am not against it, my only question is .... why?

I doubt that the work schedule just happened to come out that way. so, if integration is such a big deal, everyone is equal, etc.

why go out of the way to prove that the femmes did it "all on their own"
