Remarks:
In 2022, the GDF deployed its first rotation of women in border security missions, positions that had previously been reserved for men. Since this policy change, 50% of border operations have included servicewomen. This initiative reflects a significant shift towards gender inclusivity in security operations. Women police have been integral in joint border patrols with the GDF, focusing on preventing illegal crossings and trafficking. Their participation enhances operational effectiveness and community engagement in these sensitive areas.
