From the ABC Article:

Elizabeth Dempsey Beggs chose one of the Army's most demanding paths where officers command tanks, a field known for relentless tactical complexity and one that demands a mastery of some of the military's heaviest weapons.

Commissioned through the Army's Reserve Officers' Training Corps, she graduated in 2018 and entered a field that had only recently opened to women. She was among the first, and soon found herself leading soldiers at Fort Riley, Kansas.

"Tanks are really cool," Beggs, who's running for Congress as a Democrat in Virginia, said in an interview with ABC News.

What drew her to the job, she explained, was the time in the field and that she wanted to fight if needed.

"I knew I wanted to be on the ground," she said. Her father was an armor officer in the Marine Corps.

Beggs said there was skepticism in the ranks when she entered a job field that had been exclusively male. Some questioned how she would take part in hand-to-hand combat training, which involves grappling and close physical contact, or how she would manage basic needs, such as using the bathroom while in the field.

"I went in with the attitude that this is new," she said. "I wanted to make it an open space and answer questions without judging anyone."

Over time, she added, that unease faded.

"Once they served with women themselves, that negativity and skepticism was gone," she said of her fellow soldiers.

Hegseth has loosely moderated his once categorical opposition to women serving in ground combat roles after years of arguing that women should be excluded from front-line units.
