I can't see that there will be many joining front line duties.

/// Military chiefs predict that only a few dozen women will be able to pass the rigorous tests for front line roles. ///

Since there are a total of 38,460 personnel in the The Infantry, The Household Cavalry/ Royal Armoured Corps, and the Royal Regiment of Artillery combined, I can't see a few dozen women personnel making much of a difference.
