How do I find a US military unit in World War 2 in New Guinea?
The main US combat units to see action in New Guinea were the US Army's 32nd and 41st Infantry Divisions.The WWII US Army had a great many "independent battalions" of various types - tank, tank destroyer, artillery of various calibers and missions, engineers, signals, and so on. The idea was these "independent battalions" would be used to supplement the divisions as missions dictated. These battalions were "independent" because they were not an official part of any larger formation. There was at least one tank battalion in New Guinea, and almost certainly others.If you want a complete list of all units in New Guinea you should search for an "Order of Battle" for the US 6th Army for the New Guinea campaign. An Order of Battle is a list of all units in a command at a given time.
