A soldier from the 'Karakal' Battalion during a graduation march near the Israeli-Egyptian border on March 13, 2010 near Azoz, Israel. The Karakal is a mixed-sex battalion formed in 2004, with men and women serving together in this combat unit, based in the Negev desert on the borders with Egypt and Jordan

The Caracal Battalion was founded in the year 2000 conceding to public pressures for the
creation of an intensive combat unit for girls. They are given the name of a desert feline
whose gender is barely distinguishable, and the battalion number signifies the number of
women soldiers who fell in the Palmach Era.

The girls volunteer to become combat soldiers, and must go through two days of mental
examinations and physical challenges before joining, since the course is strenuous and
identical to that of any other exclusively male battalion.

As part of the Southern Command, Caracal men and women secure the Egyptian
border from smugglers, infiltrators, and terrorists.
