(CNN)Two women are about to make history by becoming the first female soldiers to graduate from the Army's exhausting Ranger School.

They're among the 96 students who will graduate from the intensive training program Friday in Fort Benning, Georgia.

This was the first year the Army opened the course to women on a trial basis.

"This course has proven that every Soldier, regardless of gender, can achieve his
or her full potential," Secretary of the Army John M. McHugh said in a statement.

But it's not clear what awaits the female graduates.
The Pentagon isn't expected to make final decisions about exactly
what combat roles women will be allowed to fulfill until later this year.
This is Army, but it's a matter of time til the Marines will have to face up too.
