Cool then...
As said above it is very much about endurance and overall physical condition solder aquarius with time.
The marches for example may get progressively longer with time...if we are into this march issue.
I remember my first short one with some basic equipment , i thought i would die.
I dont say that physical test are not necessary regarding overall health yet getting dramatical about three pull ups is nonsense.
One thing is clear , women training should be approached bit differently ... consider that sometimes there may be number of ways to arrive at similar results.
If this is worthwhile for the military i don't know yet a lot of women believe that they can do it and should do it...so let stubborn ones have some.
