I know some special units have made an effort to recruit women for tasks where their smaller built comes in handy (infiltration or reconnaissance) or their deployment is psychologically useful (e.g. German SWAT teams have found hostages or suspect's families are less likely to suffer from PTSD if women join the entry team).
