In what year did the Women's Armed Services Integration Act pass, making women permanently part of the active Marine Corps?

• A. 1950
• B. 1948
• C. 1938
• D. 1960

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is when women were allowed to become permanent, regular members of the armed forces. The Women's Armed Services Integration Act became law in 1948, and it allowed women to serve as permanent members of the regular armed forces, including the active Marine Corps, rather than only in wartime or auxiliary roles. It also set some limits on numbers and on assignments, so the change was significant but did not instantly equalize all roles. So, the year is 1948.
