How does this women in combat plan work?

I haven't seen a complete description of it yet. It seems like a no brainer to have women fighter and helicopter pilots. But I heard something about women soldiers and marines must pass some type of physical standard. What is that standard and what percentage of women are likely to pass it? I'm wondering if this is like the NFL saying "we will allow women to play" but then the standard being such that no woman could do it.
