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.

Did women serve in combat positions in World War 2?

They did not serve "combat" positions, however they did serve in dangerous roles as nurses and in other non combat military occupations.

The largest role of women during WWII was leaving the home to take over jobs for men as they went off to war, by doing so, they ran factories, made bombs, equipment and kept our country running while the boys were off at war. The above answer applies to the United States only. Soviet women werein actual "combat" in various capacities (pilots, snipers, etc.).
