Epaulets are ornamental shoulder pieces typically found on military uniforms, uniforms of certain professions, or formal attire. They serve both functional and decorative purposes, indicating rank or status within an organization. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, epaulets can also provide a degree of protection and support for the shoulders. Historically, they have evolved from practical elements of armor to symbols of authority and distinction.

The US Army females were part of the US Army WACs (Women Army Corps); as depicted in the TV and film MASH. They were issued WAC uniforms. In Vietnam, they appeared to be the same OG (Olive Green) fatigues as worn by the men, but were obviously tailored for females. Many, if not most, of the US Military females in country appeared to be officers. The one distinguishing feature about their uniforms was (unless they got them from other than US supply) they all seemed to have epaulets on their fatique shirt (called a jacket in the army). US GI jungle fatiques didn't have epaulets on their shoulders. All US jungle fatiques were OG cotten rip stop material.
