The Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) was converted to the Women's Army Corps (WAC) in July 1943. The WAC continued as a separate branch of the U.S. Army until it was disbanded in 1978 when women were integrated into the regular Army.

When women were allowed to join the military, they were placed on the battlefield as nurses, just as they had been during the Civil War era. The U.S. Military also created branches such as the WAC, or Womens Air Corp. Women performed flying duties around the American borders so that more men were available on the front. There's women were known as WASPs.

The U.S. Air Force itself was formed in 1947, making it the youngest U.S. military branch. Women were allowed to join one year later, in 1948, with the creation of the program, Women in the Air Force (WAF). Before this, women had already been serving in the Army, under the Women's Army Corps (WAC), which was formed in 1942. During the Air Force's first year, before the creation of WAF, some women from WAC performed Air Force duties while still serving in the Army.
