enlisted women
Women in uniform
Women serving in the military in non-officer ranks.
The term distinguishes female service members who enter through enlistment rather than commissioning as officers.
Enlisted women have served in the U.S. military since World War II, though combat roles remained restricted until recently.
The phrase appears in military contexts, policy discussions, and historical accounts of women's expanding roles in armed forces.
