No, this career field is currently closed to women. However, Army Special Operations Command has started creating Cultural Support Teams (CST). These teams are groups of women who accompany special operations teams into areas where the interaction between local women and male special operations personnel would be considered inappropriate, namely countries in the Middle East and Africa. Women who pass the training to become a member of a CST are awarded the MOS of 38B and are apart of Civil Affairs and PsyOps Command, which is a subordinate command of Army Special Operations Command.

There are also Female Engagement Teams (FETs) in both the Army and Marines, however, they are attached to Infantry and Armor units, not SOF units. Members of CSTs go through a more rigorous selection and training process than FET members because of the unique nature of special operations missions.
