About the Unit:
Marine rifle platoons were organized for maximum flexibility, typically built around three rifle squads supported by a weapons section. They carried M1 Garand rifles, BAR automatic rifles, and light machine guns, enabling them to adapt to close-quarters jungle fighting and fortified beach defenses. These formations were instrumental in legendary battles such as Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa, where their determination often made the difference between victory and defeat.
