c) Support and administrative tasks

The primary purpose of the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) during World War II was to handle support and administrative tasks. The WAC allowed women to serve in non-combat roles, freeing men for combat duty. Members of the WAC served in various capacities, including as nurses, mechanics, and clerks. This initiative not only played a crucial role in the war effort but also marked a significant step in the evolution of women’s roles in the military and in society.
