CSTs are purposefully designed to deploy with SOF.)
I'm not sure what the specific requirements are, but I know that the assistant team leader billet in the 75th Ranger Regimental Reconnaissance Company requires an infantryman (sergeant first class) who is a qualified JTAC, among other things (MFF parachutist, combat diver-qualified, etc.). The RRC recon specialists are about as elite as you can get in terms of SOF-capable light infantry.
I actually had read about females deploying with SOF units, just not in the role of a JTAC or a door kicker. I still plan on using characters such as Scarlett, Lady Jaye, Jinx, etc in their roles as CI/HUMINT operators working alongside the assault teams. I just do not have a use for Bombstrike as of yet as my Joe-verse is reflecting on real life US Military doctrine (set between 2013-15).
I will have to read up on the assistant team leader role for the RRC. I did some more reading on JTAC's and JFO's late yesterday and it seemed that the US Army does not actually have any soldiers trained as JTAC's (until you just mentioned the RRC ATL billet). My understanding is a JFO has to call in to a JTAC and then that person actually is the one who "clears hot" for ordnance to be deployed. Whereas a JTAC (whether attached to a SOF unit or not) can "clear hot" whether out in the field or back at a FOB.
