US Army WAC
The Women's Army Corps (WAC) was a US Army department that included all-female units during World War II. The WAC's history includes:
Creation of the WAAC
In 1941, Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers introduced a bill to establish a women's auxiliary in the US Army. On May 14, 1942, Congress approved the creation of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC).
Discontinuation of the WAAC
In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a bill that discontinued the WAAC and replaced it with the WAC. The WAC gave women active-duty status in the Army.
