It was established on 21 July 1942 by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on 30 July 1942.  This authorized the U.S. Navy to accept women into the Naval Reserve as commissioned officers and at the enlisted level, effective for the duration of the war plus six months.

She was commissioned a lieutenant commander on 3 August 1942; later promoted to commander and then to captain.  McAfee, on leave as President of Wellesley College, was an experienced educator and highly respected in her field.
