Remember, there are still TWO koreas; North & South. If any South Korean women served in Vietnam they did so as nurses or secretaries, etc. Just like US or other alled women served during the war. Communist NORTH Korean & Communist NORTH Vietnamese women could have served differently. Communist women in North Vietnam often served as transportation personnel (transporting parts, missiles, food, ammunition, medical supplies, serving on bomb filling details-covering up bomb craters to repair airfields and other damaged areas) and most importantly they served as medical personnel and AAA gunners on Anti-Aircraft sites. They performed these tasks so that their men were free to march south and fight. With the exception of medical & transportation teams, communist women defended the North; and their men fought in the South. As one battle field pick up NVA pith helmet had written on it by an NVA grunt, "Born in the North, Died in the South."

American military women were auxiliaries in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. They were not authorized to be combatants and were part of the WACs, WAVEs, and WAFs. Equal employment came after the Viet War when the WACs/WAVEs/etc. were disbanded and the all volunteer military came into being. American military females have fought in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and other US military operations. But WWI, WWII, Korea and the Vietnam Wars were strictly fought by men.
WACs & WAVEs did the same thing they did in WWII; supported the US fighting men. Primary functions were administrative and medical (nurses).
US military women were auxiliaries; WACs & WAVEs from WWII through the Vietnam War. Their mission was to support the American fighting man, and to relieve him of certain supportive functions so that he could fight the war. This was accomplished.

Women were volunteers.
No women didn't serve in the military on either side. There were women who were nurses and one or two disguised themselves as men and fought.

Women serve with honor and distinction in the military forces of a great number of nations.
As in Korea and WWII, women in Vietnam were volunteers in both the military and civilian employment, with the majority of their effort addressed to the medical field.

I don't believe anyone, male or female, should be required to serve a military organisation.
The Vietnam War was fought with a traditional American military; as with WW2 and the Korean War before it, with women serving as nurses. Those past wars were fought with women in the WAC's, WAVEs, WAFs, and WMs (Womens Army Corps, Women Allowed in the Navy for Voluntary Emergency Service, Women in the Air Force, and Women Marines). In 1975, to make room for the ALL VOLUNTEER military, those women "corps" were DISBANDED.
