US Army Infantry Divisions 1942-43
Opis
The US Army infantry division was an intricate system of men and equpement welded together by doctrine and organization into an entity that could fight, maneuver, communicate internally and with outside entities, and regenerate itself through a supply and replacement system. This book examines the development, mobilization, deployment, and combat actions of US Army infantry divisions up until the end of 1943. Among the units covered are the separate infantry regiments and battalions of the 'standard' type, showing how the Army's new "triangular" infantry division (based on three infantry regiments) evolved from the earlier 'square' division (based on four).
