History is about to be made at Fort Benning, Georgia. Two female soldiers will graduate from the Army’s grueling Ranger School on Friday, becoming the first women to ever complete one of the U.S. military’s premier courses to develop elite fighters and leaders.

The women have not been identified by the Army, but both are officers in their 20s and graduates of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.

The class started in April with 381 men and 19 women. Students also had to undergo a number of physical fitness tests that included 49 push-ups, 59 sit-ups, a 5-mile run in 40 minutes, six chin-ups, a swim test, and several obstacle courses just to name a few. By the end of the course, only 94 men and two women met all the requirements.

The female graduates are expected to speak to the media for the first time Thursday alongside instructors and other soldiers at Ranger School.
