As the demobilization of women from the military was underway post-WWII, the U.S. War Department released informative pamphlets out to the women to thank them for their service and lay out their potential next steps.

Once women had been fully established in the military during WWII, the U.S. War Department released a pamphlet titled "WAC Life," which outlined the roles and duties of female officers in the Women's Army Corps during the war.

In 1943, the WAAC dropped the "auxiliary" part of the acronym to become the Women's Army Corps, which left women with the decision of either becoming civilian or fully entering the military.
