What you would be doing
Barkat is an officer-development track for female fighters heading toward platoon-commander roles in the border-defense battalions. You're identified for the track during the initial combat-women selection, and your fit is reassessed at each stage — advanced training, the squad commanders' course, and preparation for the officers' course.
