Biographical / Historical
The Women's Army Corps (WAC) was a component of the United States Army. The WAC was established by Congress in 1943, bringing the earlier Women's Army Auxiliary Corps into the regular Army. These women worked in a variety of support functions, including switchboard operation, office work, motor pool, translation, and mail processing. After the conclusion of World War II, the WAC became a permanent component in 1946. It was eventually abolished in 1978 as a separate corps with the women assimilated into other branches of Army.
