The Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) was a military support organization associated with the United States Army. The WAAC was established by Congress in 1942, allowing women to contribute to the U.S. war effort during World War II. The WAACs were not part of the Army, but worked in support functions such as clerical work, switchboard operation, motor pool, weather observation, and control tower operations. The organization was integrated into the regular Army in 1943 as the Women's Army Corps.
