Female soldiers in an armoured brigade in northern Norway are trained no differently than men.

Norway is the first NATO member to require women to serve in the military like men. Pictured is a female soldier from an armoured brigade in Setermoen, northern Norway. |

100 years ago, Norway held a national vote on women's rights. Today, Norwegian women serve in the military under conscription just like men. |
