Discounting the US Army Women's Army Corps (WAC's) and the US Navy's Women Allowed in the Navy for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES), and Air Force/Marine Corps Women's units, which were all disbanded with the introduction of the new all volunteer military in 1975: The US Military averaged approximately 2 million men during the cold war, reaching 3.5 million men during the Vietnam War. After the Cold War & Vietnam; the all volunteer US Military has maintained an approximate 1.4 million persons.
