  • La Women’s Army Corps Service Medal (litt. : Médaille de service dans le Corps des Femmes de l'Armée) était une récompense militaire de l'armée des États-Unis, créée le 29 juin 1943 sous la présidence de Franklin Roosevelt. Elle avait pour objectif de reconnaître le service des femmes dans l'armée durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L'avers de la médaille représente un profil de la déesse grecque de la stratégie militaire, Pallas Athena ; on retrouve également son visage comme emblème de la Women's Army Corps. La Women’s Army Corps Service Medal était remise à toutes les femmes ayant servi dans le Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (Corps auxiliaire de l'Armée des Femmes) entre le 10 juin 1942 et le 31 août 1943, ou dans le Women's Army Corps entre le 1er septembre 1943 et le 2 septembre 1945. La médaille était remise en exemplaire unique, sans possibilité de cumuler les décorations. Dans la hiérarchie des médailles, elle se trouve un degré en dessous de l'American Defense Service Medal et au-dessus de l'American Campaign Medal. De nos jours, la Women’s Army Corps Service Medal est considérée comme obsolète, puisque l'armée des États-Unis d'Amérique ne sépare plus les corps selon les genres. Cependant, elle peut toujours être portée par celles qui ont servi. (fr)

The medal was intended to recognize the service of women to the Army during the Second World War. The profile featured on the medal is that of the goddess Pallas Athena; the same profile was used for the Women's Army Corps branch insignia. The Women’s Army Corps Service Medal was awarded to any service member of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps between July 10, 1942 and August 31, 1943 or the Women's Army Corps between September 1, 1943 and September 2, 1945. The medal was issued as a once-awarded medal, and there are no devices authorized for additional presentations. The medal ranked in order of precedence below the American Defense Service Medal and above the American Campaign Medal. The Women’s Army Corps Service Medal is considered obsolete as the United States Army is a combined service and no longer maintains any separate service corps for women, although it may still be worn by those who served.
