That is possible now, as it has been for many years.
Everyone in a combat zone is at risk. Often the support services are most vulnerable. Many chaplains and Navy hospitalcorpsmen serving with Marines have been posthumous recipients of the Medal of Honor.
Interesting that you refer to women in "tons".
There are always some women who have exceptional physical strength. Then again, there have been reports about the many women who cannot pass the physical requirements for those jobs. Even in the military, women's physical fitness standards are not the same as the men's.
