Initially 500. This was built up to 3,500 on the Track as the campaign progressed, however there were eventually 30,000 in Papua New Guinea, most not committed at any particular stage. The Japanese had 13,500 in PNG, but only about 2,000 were committed in the Kokoda Track.

What do kokoda and the Vietnam war have in common?

The Kokoda Trail was a footpath going thru the OWEN STANLEY RANGE in the islands of New Guinea, just north of Australia. US & Australian (ANZAC) forces defeated Japanese troops, in a series of campaigns, as the Japanese tried working their way to the New Guinea coastlines, during WWII. Australian troops, upon arriving in Vietnam, apparently brought with them, their battle lineage from the Kokoda Trail.
