The U.S. Infantry in WWII

The U.S. army's WWII army campaign was based around its business units. At the core of these units had been squads consisting of a maximum of twelve soldiers. Each squad included a Sergeant rated squad leader, a Corporal ranked assistant squad leader, a machine gunner and riflemen. Probably the most identifiable uniform used by U.S. troops during WWII ended up being the M1941 industry coat, centered on a civilian jacket design, and the M1943 industry coat (modified form of the M1941). Featuring four big pockets, the M1943 was developed so that you can standardize military uniform and was supplied to soldiers from late 1943. But as a result of production delays, the M1941 stayed used commonly by many troops. Troops in cold temperatures used overcoats and mackinaw coats based on civilian items, and as mufflers, gloves and the like. Teams of U.S. armored cars preferred to wear the hot and functional "tanker's jacket."
