In the late 1980's, a task force called CREW (Combat Related Employment of Women)conducted trials and generally prepared those sorts of reports for DND.**Our first female General Officer, BGen. S. Helstrom was involved.**I am sure the reports are available, although I am currently unaware of their accessibilty to the general public. Requesting the information from the Department would be your best course of action, but it will take time.
