Inspired from a trip down memory lane and enough dunking to earn its place at a NBA game.
Considering the fantasy element inserts such a massive and manifold variable that can't be covered in a single blanket idea.
So lets segment this into separate tiers/ideas of increasing fantasy elements.
The First idea is the closest to Real life.
Presupposing a equal-opportunity human army/military that exists in a realistic/very low fantasy world.
What roles would women be employed in combat-roles or non-camp follower support roles?
Second:
When it comes to fantasy races(Centaurs, Orcs, elves, dwarves, Lizardpeople, etc.) how would their sexual dimorphism or lack of it in some races effect role selection/placement in their armies/military that would be seen or as above what combat-roles or non-camp follower support roles would they see and the differences to humans have.
Second and a half:
What consideration of limitations and such that might come into play with fantasy mounts from Dogs large enough to ride to flying mounts like a Griffin.
A historical consideration for inspiration on this topic is horses, as for a chunk of history horses hadn't been bred large enough to carry a heavily armored man.
Third:
Introducing/assuming a system of magic that is a viable for combat and utility uses which doesn't inherently remove the differences of sexual dimorphism in humans and other fantasy races.
Discussing and considering relevant permutations of the ideas presented in each tier is encouraged.
From magic being inherent or only requiring long laborious study to use. How dangerous magic is from Warhammer Fantasy level, Dragon age level or being very safe to use. The setting considered for fantasy races(DnD humans fall under this as they are not Real Life humans.) as various settings can very different interpretation of the same fantasy race.
