The Women’s Army Corps Service Medal is a United States Army military award created on July 29, 1943 by Executive Order 9365 by President Franklin Roosevelt. The medal recognizes the service of women to the Army during the Second World War.

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 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 without separate service corps for women. The medal was issued as a once-awarded medal, and there are no devices authorized for additional presentations.
