原文：

An Army National Guard soldier marked a new milestone in the U.S. military on July 9, 2020, by graduating from the grueling Special Forces Qualification Course（Q Course） to become the first woman to join the Green Berets.

U.S. Army Special Operations Command would not identify the soldier, but confirmed that she graduated from the 53-week course in a ceremony at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, according to a USASOC release.

USASOC Commander Lt. Gen. Fran Beaudette spoke at the ceremony, congratulating the class of approximately 400 soldiers.‘Each and every one of you demonstrated the ability to meet the baseline standards and competencies for admission to our Special Forces,’ Beaudette said.
