They were the Army, Navy, and Air Force
Women Army and Navy reservests
WACs were female reseve service personnel who helped do soldiers work so they could fight also WAVEs
During the Vietnam War, roughly about 2 million men world wide; women were part of the WACs (Women's Army Corps). The term(s) "How many men in the US Army" cannot be applied today (21st century). The WACs were disbanded in 1975.
8 US Military Nurses were killed in Vietnam. One from a communist rocket which struck her medical facility; and Seven were killed in accidents (one jeep, one helicopter, five during Operation Babylift, when a C-5 Galaxy Transport plane crashed on take off).
Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron
all three were military units made up of women
Women were allowed in the US military commencing with the establishment of the WACs and WAVEs in 1940/41 and ending with the Vietnam War in 1975; at which time the WACs, WAVEs, and WAFs were disbanded. WACs/WAFs/WAVES/etc. were not considered part of the US fighting forces, but rather auxiliaries.
During the Vietnam War, WWII, etc. all US military women were either WACs, WAVES, or WAFs.
They're all women in the military.
Women!
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.
Women in the WW2 US Navy (WAVES), The Women's Army Corps (WACs) their jobs were switchboard operators, mechanics, and bakers. These were disbanded and integrated with male units.
Women Army and Navy reservests
They served their country in the WACS, WAVES,and SPARS
You must name a time period. Prior to 1975 (the Vietnam era) the US Military was 100% men and 100% military. During that time frame US military women in all branches were considered AUXILIARIES and belonged to the WACs, WAVES, and WAFs. Women were not considered part of the US fighting strength. EDIT: Removed offensive material from answer.
None. WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam were all fought by men. Women were part of the WACs & WAVEs. In 1975 the WACs & WAVEs were disbanded and political correctness and equal opportunity employment for the all volunteer US military took over.
Starting in WW2 and ending AFTER the Vietnam War in 1975: 1. WAVES-Women Allowed to Volunteer for Emergency naval Service 2. WACs-Women's Army Corps 3. WAFs-Women in the Air Force 4. WM-Women Marines All were designed by our WW2 forefathers to allow the men to fight; while the women supported them.
