Instead, at Recruit Depot Parris Island in South Carolina, males and females carry out the same training but live separately -- the first three battalions are all-male, while the fourth battalion is all-female.

But there will not be opportunities to repeat the model in 2019, spokesperson Warrant Officer Bobby Yarbrough told ABC News. "...Our platoon model is, and remains, the proven and ideal method for making Marines and a single company, comprised of male and female platoons, is a practical training option when the conditions permit," Brig. Gen. James Glynn said in a statement.

Series commander Capt. Tiffany Aguiar said the only major difference with the integrated company was the convenience of being located with the men in order to carry out major training events together. Sixty percent of the 13 weeks of recruit training has male and female recruits either training together or side by side, according to the Marine Corps.
