 ARMY The history of women in the military actually began with the Army nurse corps in 1901. However, even in colonial times nurses were acknowledged as those "citizen soldiers" who met the basic health care needs of soldiers under the most primitive conditions of war. Since that time hundreds of women have served our nation caring for the sick and wounded, comforting the dying, risking their lives, being taken prisoner, and dying in the field. As the value and importance of nurses in the Army became recognized, education and training became a key recruitment incentive.

 Navy For nearly 100 years before Congress formally established the Navy Nurse Corps in 1908, women worked as nurses aboard Navy ships and in Navy hospitals. As early as the War of 1812, volunteers performed nursing duty in places that were often dangerous and required courage in the face of adversity. In addition to their own service-related activities, Navy nurses provide nursing support for the U.S. Mrines Corps. As the value and importance of nurses in the Navy became recognized, education and training became a key recruitment incentive.
