The U.S. Infantry in WWII
The U.S. army's WWII military campaign was based around its company
units.
At the core of these units were squads consisting of no more than twelve
soldiers.
Each squad included a Sergeant ranked squad leader, a Corporal ranked
assistant squad leader, a machine gunner and riflemen.
The most recognizable uniform worn by U.S. troops during WWII was the
M1941 field jacket,
based on a civilian jacket design, and the M1943 field jacket (modified
version of the M1941).
Featuring four large pockets, the M1943 was developed in order to
standardize military uniform and was supplied to soldiers from late
1943.
However, due to production delays, the M1941 continued to be used widely
by many troops.
Troops in winter made use of overcoats and mackinaw coats derived from
civilian items, as well as mufflers, gloves and the like.
Crews of U.S. armored vehicles preferred to wear the warm and functional
"tanker's jacket." |
