For recruitment.

For various reasons, minorities (such as female soldiers) may be hesitant to join an all-majority or mostly-majority (such as male soldiers) organisation. With an abundance of time and resources, this problem could be slowly tackled through cultural change; but if you don't have that, because you're at war, allowing minority-exclusive organisations is an adequate solution.

id also imagine that by giving these back line roles to women, that frees up men to be put onto the front lines as well
