The Saudi ministry of defense released a video clip of the graduation ceremony of the female soldiers after they completed a 14-week military training that began on May 30.

In February 2021, Saudi Arabia opened up military posts for women for the first time which allowed them to report through a unified portal. Saudi women can now rise from soldiers to officers in the Royal Saudi air defense, royal Saudi navy, royal Saudi strategic missile force, and the army’s medical services. Saudi women between the ages of 21 and 40 may apply for these positions.
