I regret not seeing the dual meaning of your initial correction. I think I was paraphrasing the article which does mention the ongoing operation against IS, not simply, "ground combat in Iraq." I thought it was implied, not the start of another Iraq war etc. As far as using "member", it is ubiquitous with soldier, sailor, marine to me since that's the term we always use. It is highly likely they were not female.
