The Oscar-winning actress is in talks to star in the war-themed biopic

, based on the upcoming memoir by Air Force Maj. Mary Jennings Hegar,

Hegar, a decorated veteran who was awarded the Purple Heart and is only the sixth woman to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross, was a rescue pilot who served three tours in Afghanistan and later saved the lives of several Americans held captive.

Off the field, she filed and won a lawsuit that sought to end the Pentagon\'s ban on placing women in direct combat while on duty.

The film will mark Jolie\'s first film project since she filed for divorce from Brad Pitt after two years of marriage and 12 years together. She last appeared onscreen in the 2015 marital-discord drama

Jolie, 41, filed papers in a Los Angeles court on Sept. 19, five days after an incident on the couple\'s private plane in which Pitt, 52, was alleged to have gotten verbally abusive and physical with the couple\'s oldest child, Maddox. The case has triggered a child abuse investigation by the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services.

A source close to Pitt previously told PEOPLE the actor has been fully cooperating with the investigation – including taking a drug test – and "takes the matter very seriously and says he did not commit any abuse of his children."

On Friday, multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE that Jolie and Pitt agreed to a temporary plan involving counseling and visitation as recommended by the DCFS.

"This is a completely voluntary agreement, and it is not an order or a mandate of any kind, nor is it any determination of custody," a source with knowledge of the situation told PEOPLE.

Under the plan, which will be in effect until Oct. 20, the couple\'s six children – Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and 8-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne – will remain with Jolie at a rented L.A.-area house. Pitt will get visitation with the children, and the couple have agreed that a therapist will be present for the initial visit.

Jolie and Pitt have also agreed to attend individual counseling, as well as family counseling with their children.
