six exceptional women
one incredible story

In 2010, six ordinary women with extraordinary dreams make a stand. They volunteer for the grueling 14-week Infantry course at Fort Benning, Georgia - pioneers in a groundbreaking program to crack open the historically male-only infantry. Under the relentless gaze of Drill Sergeant Lily Rodriguez, a tough-as-nails Puerto Rican, and the skepticism of her right-hand man, Drill Sergeant Dower, these women are pushed to their physical and emotional limits. Each carries a burden from a life left behind, but the weight gets heavier when tragedy strikes one of their own in the barracks, just as news of a devastating war explodes on the national stage.Undeterred, they forge an unbreakable bond, graduating Infantry school and deploying to a volatile warzone. But the battlefield brings a new set of challenges. A replacement soldier fills the void left by their fallen comrade, a man they must learn to trust. Embedded with them is a reporter who prioritizes parties over the truth. As the war intensifies, so do tensions. Personal demons resurface, haunted by the barracks mystery and the ever-present threat of death. Can these women overcome loss, doubt, and a hostile environment to prove they deserve the title of "Infantry, the Queen of Battle"? Find out in our gripping audio drama - a story of resilience, sisterhood, and the fight to rewrite history, one battlefield at a time.
