According to Jordan's govt., that country been training the Iraqi women for almost a year now. (Saddam apparently had done something similar).
jordanembassyus.org

"The 38 women had received intensive training from Jordanian women soldiers in combat, counterterrorism tactics, driving and other military tasks. It was not clear what role they would play in the new Iraqi army. During the previous regime, women were trained in combat but not sent into battle."

"... all moslems believe that women do not belong in the army."
