Few fighting forces rival the hard-won reputation of the US Marine Corps. Showing their mettle during the island-hopping campaigns in the Pacific; and then to pushing the enemy back to their homeland; the US Marine had few equals in WWII. Facing the deadly combination of the fanatical Japanese enemy and the sweltering jungle conditions in which they fought; the US Marine Corps triumphed in actions which have become legendary – Guadalcanal; Tarawa; Peleliu; Iwo Jima and more.Within the claustrophobic confines of the hills and jungle environment over which they fought; the marines were reliant more on support weapons than on tanks. Medium machine guns like the M1917 and the 81mm medium mortar were vital to their success.Contains these metal models:1 officer with SMG and pistol1 US Navy corpsman medic treating a casualty1 medic with stretcher1 radio operator/spotter1 medium mortar team1 MMG teamModels supplied unassembled and unpainted
