FROM CAMPUS TO COMBAT - THE FEMALE MARINES
On 13th August 1918 a young woman named Opha Mae Johnson made history when she became the first woman to enlist in the United States Marine Corps.
Given the category of "F" (for female) she was not allowed to go to war but would have worked as a secretary, cook or military nurse or any other job that the first marine women were allowed to do.
It would be another 20 years before women were actually allowed to serve in a war zone.
In February 1943 The Marine Corps Women's Reserve was established; the United States Congress then passed the Women's Armed Services Integration Act on 12th June 1948, which made women a permanent part of the regular Marine Corps.
In 1950 the Women Reserves were mobilized for the Korean War and 2,787 served their country. By the height of the Vietnam War there were about 2,700 women marines serving both stateside and abroad.
The 1990s saw additional changes and increased responsibilities for women in the Marine Corps, including flying combat aircraft. Approximately 1,000 women marines were deployed to Southwest Asia for Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in 1990-1991.
In 1997 women marines began attending Marine Combat Training, allowing them the same combat training opportunities as men. And these women now undergo a tough training regime at Parris Island Marine Base in South Carolina.
Today, women in the American military are still not allowed in front-line ground combat. But they work in supporting roles, from manning vehicles to flying combat planes - jobs that put them in dangerous situations, especially in Iraq. Since the U.S led invasion of Iraq in 2003, more than 3,000 American military personnel h...

The 1990s saw additional changes and increased responsibilities for women in the Marine Corps, including flying combat aircraft. Approximately 1,000 women marines were deployed to Southwest Asia for Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in 1990-1991.
In 1997 women marines began attending Marine Combat Training, allowing them the same combat training opportunities as men. And these women now undergo a tough training regime at Parris Island Marine Base in South Carolina.
Today, women in the American military are still not allowed in front-line ground combat. But they work in supporting roles, from manning vehicles to flying combat planes - jobs that put them in dangerous situations, especially in Iraq.

FROM CAMPUS TO COMBAT - THE FEMALE MARINES
On 13th August 1918 a young woman named Opha Mae Johnson made history when she became the first woman to enlist in the United States Marine Corps.
Given the category of "F" (for female) she was not allowed to go to war but would have worked as a secretary, cook or military nurse or any other job that the first marine women were allowed to do.
It would be another 20 years before women were actually allowed to serve in a war zone.
In February 1943 The Marine Corps Women's Reserve was established; the United States Congress then passed the Women's Armed Services Integration Act on 12th June 1948, which made women a permanent part of the regular Marine Corps.
In 1950 the Women Reserves were mobilized for the Korean War and 2,787 served their country. By the height of the Vietnam War there were about 2,700 women marines serving both stateside and abroad.
