On February 13, 1943, the U.S. Marine Corps Women's Reserve was officially established. We honor all those women who have served with the Reserve or regular Corps. The Reserve's purpose was to release officers and men for combat in World War II, and to replace them with women in U.S. shore stations for the duration of the war plus six months. The peak strength of the Reserve was about 19,000.
