USMC Support Group

Few fighting forces can match the hard-won reputation of the US Marine Corps. During the island-hopping campaigns in the Pacific and the subsequent pushing of the enemy back to their homeland, the US Marines showed their prowess and had few equals in World War II. Faced with the deadly combination of the fanatical Japanese enemy and the sultry jungle conditions in which they fought, the US Marine Corps triumphed in actions that have become legendary - Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and more.

In the claustrophobic confines of the hills and jungle environments in which they fought, the Marines relied more on support weapons than tanks. Medium machine guns like the M1917 and the 81mm medium mortar were critical to their success.
