Earlier this month, Captain Geetika Koul from the Snow Leopard Brigade became the first woman medical officer of the Indian Army to be deployed at the world’s highest battlefield, Siachen, after completing the induction training at Siachen Battle School.
Siachen glacier is the largest glacier in India and the second-largest in the world. It is the highest battleground on earth. Her posting at one of the highest glaciers is a testament to her unwavering determination and this is not just a personal win, it is a stride breaking glass ceilings and gender barriers in the defence forces.
