Japanese American Women In Service
Beginning in February 1943, Japanese American women were allowed to join the Army Nurse Corps, though the majority of Japanese American women who left concentration camps to help in the war effort participated in the Cadet Nurse Corps. Japanese American women were not permitted to join the Women’s Army Corps until November 1943. The first group of women trained as translators at the Military Intelligence Service Language School in Minnesota where graduates were assigned to translate captured documents.
