This was the age of traditional armies; political correctness had not taken hold of armies back then; the communists used females to man anti-aircraft sites (AAA sites) in North Vietnam while their men marched south to fight. They used women to carry supplies, administer medical support, and repair support. US and allied armies utilized females primarily in the medical fields. In US organizations, US females were always VOLUNTEERS.
