The British army women soldiers operating in Afghanistan and other places have been advised to use condoms. There are a large number of male soldiers and possibility of sex cannot be ruled out. Hence, safe sex is the advice.

Some more facts :
According to Daily Mail Reporter
More than 140 pregnant women had to be sent home from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Free condoms are supplied at bases including Camp Bastion, in Helmand, home to 8,500 British men and 700 women.
Last year, 102 pregnant British servicewomen were flown out of Iraq and 31 were sent home from Afghanistan between January 2003 and February 2009.

This is a trick to escape war duty. But the errant soldiers- men or women are not treated as good soldiers and such escapist tendency affects the career adversely. That is why the advice is given.
Some one remarked that British army could not advise the women soldiers to refrain from lust. Apparently, the British army considers sex as necessary as food. So the advice is to use condoms and not to abstain.

Nice facts Kumaresh!!
But I don't think getting pregnant is mere ruse to escape from the war duty. Everyone knows how bad the situation is in Afghanistan and Iraq..and it is only human nature to seek solace in some or the other form when thrown in miserable inhumane conditions. And when men and women come together in such conditions, sex is but a natural thing!!
At least in case of British troops, the act of sex is done willingly since they are working together for a common cause. if there were no women accompanying the men, there would have been increased case of rapes against local Afghani women!
It is a well-known fact that during Second World War, when USA attacked Japan after Pearl Harbor, thousands of Japanese women were forced to have sex with the Allied Forces, an act for which recently USA act for forgiveness from Japan a few years back!

Kalyani gave a good reason for women soldiers. The local afghan women have been spared. Reference to japan is also apt. many Bangladesi women were raped by Pakistani soldiers. Same happened in Vietnam. The Indian soldiers also molested and raped in North East. The Manipur women held demonstration in nude shouting slogan- Rape us. I have heard from old soldiers that the Britis Indian army has a women corps called WACI (women auxiliary corps India) which was prima facie for office jobs but mainly for satisfying lust of soldiers.
But this does not add to prestige of women soldiers. If they are posted as equal partners, this is good. If they are there for catering to dominating lust of males, this is really disgusting.
