Sergeant Alice Dunne, a Marine Lioness, heads to Camp Korean Village, Iraq, from Al Asad for a thirty-day rotation on the team that was created to circumvent cultural barriers and work with Iraqi women. The Army originated female engagement through its Lioness teams in 2003. Before then the military either didn’t search Iraqi and Afghan women or used men, which risked turning some villages against the US military.
