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.Set Contents_Noncommissioned Officers x 2 _Riflemen x 5 _BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) soldiers x 2 _Machine gunner x 1 _Bazooka gunner x 1 _Loaders x 2 _Tank crewmen x 2 _Separate sprue for weapons and equipment.
