Women's Army Corps Are Vital Part of Arm The Women's Army Corps is today an integral part of the Army of the United States. Firmly entrenched with the Army's ranks, the more than 70.000 women ol the Corps have quietly moved into the places vacated by men going into combat. They have stepped into and performed their 239 diversified Army jobs no slowdown or interruption in the Army's 24-hour schedule at posts, camps, stations and bases in every one of the 48 states and in overseas- theaters of operation in 10 foreign countries. On duty "round the clock, 'round the world, wherever there is an Army job a womatn can do. these smartly uniformed officers and enlisted women have boarded troop trains fiom the WAC training- centers (Fort Ces Moines, Iowa, and Fort OgleJhorpe, Georgia) and moved into the ranks of the Army--a women's Corps equal in to several divisions of men! Armed with good health, alert minds.

Army technical and specialized training, plus the will to work and win. Arneiiea's women soldiers proudly are wearing the insignia of their branch of Army service, or the Pallas Athene of their own Corps, in far corners of the world today. Originally organized as an Army auxiliary by an Act of Congress introduced by Representative Edith Nourse Rogers of Massachusetts, the Women's Army Corps bill was passed on May 1942. Congressional and military leaders realized that in time of total war women also must worir to preserve the democratic form of government whirti gmnted them the privilege of taking their places in society and business alongside their men. On May 15.

1942. Oveta Gulp Hobby, of Houston. Texas, wife of former Governor P. Hobby, was named director of the Corps. Now a member- of the War Department General Staff.

Colonel Hobby is responsible lor the plans and policies, for the utilization and well-being of the Women's Army Corps; the plans and policies for procurement, reception, classification, training and assignment of its personnel; and the inspection of units, detachments and individuals assigned to the Army Ground Forces, ttie Army Air Forces and the Army Service Forces. Changes in the Corps There have been many changes in the Corps in the two years since its formation. When the Corps was made an actual pert of the Army last September and "Auxiliary" dropped from its name, it lost 25 per cent of its members. Some were unable to pass a new and more rigid Army physical examination, some were not recommended rc-cnlist- ment, some no longer were able to serve for personal and some were no longer interested. Despite loss in rui.nbers.

there was a Jjain in prestige, in uivty of purpose within the Corps and in pride among the women. There also was vast broadening of their opportunities for service in the Army. Originally, the Corps was formed to do three jobs for the Army: clerical, motor vehicle operation, communications. Cooks were trained to prepare food for WAC companies- Now the Army has broadened its request for I women to cover 233 specialist fields, cither al- ready have civilian training or can be trained readilv by the Army. In many of these fields it has been found skills have excelled those of men.

As their work in the Army has been extended, the whole WAC training program iias undergone significant changes. There are no longer exclusively WAC schools, except the training centers at Fort DCS Ixloincs. Iowa, and Fort Oglcthorpe. Georgia. Instead, the old and 'ong-respccted Army schools have become coeducational.

Women are assigned to these' Army schools for advanced and specialized training; LS they become ready for more responsible jobs and as these jobs need to be filled. Al JJic schools, they get the same course of instruction given to men. One hundred and fifty WAC of- f-cers have been graduated from the Army's Command and General Staff School at Fort I.eavenworth. and better jobs in the oost war world, and to face the future with confidence. The Corps strength stands at slightly over 70,000, as of May, 1944.
