UNITED STATES MILITARY HISTORY
UNITED STATES ARMY GROUND FORCES, TABLES OF ORGANIZATION AND EQUIPMENT, WORLD WAR II by J J Hays.
This series will, for the first time provide a detailed and precise examination of the organisation of the US Division throughout World War II. Here will be found the Tables of Organization and the Tables of Equipment starting with those of 1940 as these were in effect when American went to war in 1941. These Tables remained in effect until mid 1942 so were in use during the early campaigns in the Pacific and North Africa.
These volumes trace the development of the infantry division from 1940 to 1945. Here will be found precisely how the US Army’s principal fighting formation was organised and, with battle experience, how the organisation and equipment was varied from the lessons learnt. For example liaison aircraft and the 2.36" rocket launcher (Bazooka) first made their appearance in the Infantry Division organisation in July 1943. The Division’s units strengths altered during the war for example the Military Police varied from 220 to 106 men. The tables show how the role of the radio developed from the relatively few sets in 1940 to the hundreds that were required in 1944. The tables are supported by diagrams and with drawings created by the author. These drawings clearly and accurately show each weapon and vehicle type that the units were issued with. Thus enabling the reader to see the exact table of weapons and equipment of each unit ‘at a glance’.
The Division organisation went through a number of alterations until the final wartime organisation in early 1945. Each volume has numerous tables, for instance the Infantry Division volumes have some 250 tables. In addition there are detailed diagrams illustrating the organisation of the Division sub units, which detail the numbers of officers and their ranks, and the numbers of Warrant Officers, NCOs and enlisted men, their equipment and weapons. Again these tables trace the development of each type of sub unit during the course of the war.
