Women Army Corps Eyes More Enlistees With Modernized Uniforms
Washington AP The Women’s Army Corps plans to broaden recruiting by making uniforms more feminine and jobs more challenging. WAC Director Brig. Gen. Mildred C. Bailey says the force will grow from 13,320 to 15,900 by next June and to 24,000 by June 1978 to support an all volunteer Army. The WAC will shift toward noncombat roles alongside men, with new uniforms including a pant suit, a modern patent leather shoe, and a black beret while skirt length remains near knee level. Major new duties include radar technicians missile repair crew electronics specialists and heavy equipment operators. The move follows a House subcommittee report accusing the Defense Department of tokenism in using women.
