All Types of U.S. Infantry in World War II Explained

Описание: The United States did not fight World War II with a single kind of infantry.
It fought with many different types of soldiers, each built for a specific role, terrain, and kind of war.

In this video, we break down all major types of U.S. infantry used during World War II, explaining how each formation fought, what made it unique, and why no single type could have won the war alone.

You’ll learn how airborne infantry turned chaos into advantage by landing behind enemy lines, often scattered and surrounded. How Ranger units carried out missions where speed, aggression, and surprise mattered more than survival margins. And how U.S. Marine Corps infantry redefined amphibious warfare while fighting some of the most brutal battles of the Pacific.

The video also explores the reality of standard U.S. Army infantry, the backbone that absorbed the enemy’s main strength across Europe and beyond. We examine armored infantry, whose survival depended on coordination with tanks, and glider infantry, who entered combat in fragile aircraft with no escape once they landed.

Beyond battlefield roles, we look at infantry shaped by terrain and society itself — from mountain troops trained to defeat impossible geography, to African-American infantry units who fought both the enemy abroad and discrimination at home, and finally Nisei infantry, whose loyalty was proven under fire while their families were imprisoned behind barbed wire.

This is not a story of elite units alone.
It is an explanation of how the U.S. Army and Marine Corps combined specialization, endurance, and sacrifice to fight a global war across every environment on Earth.
