PM wants women training for front line in 2016

Prime Minister David Cameron said he wanted to see female British soldiers training to fight on the front line in 2016.

Cameron has asked the Ministry of Defense to be ready to post women in ground close-combat roles by the end of next year, after Washington announced this month its military will open all positions - including front line combat roles - to women.

"The Defense Secretary (Michael Fallon) and I are united in wanting to see all roles in our armed forces opened up to women in 2016," Cameron said.
