But, I don't think that it should be compulsary. It should be up to the individual.
If you are serving overseas, eg Iraq, no matter what unit you're in, or what job you do in it, there is always the chance that you'll be caught up in Combat anyway. Just because you're a requisitions clerk doesn't mean the enemy doesn't want to kill you.
On the other hand though...
I've always thought that a battalion of 1200 women all with PMS could win any war before lunch time.

"Up to the individual" - jeepers that's an jolly interesting idea. Presumably we're not distinguishing male from female here - are we ? So, - how many squaddies do you think would rock up at the front if it were "up to the individual"? It would be my guess that a small camper van would be able to drop them off
