It is no longer in use as a fighting weapon of war in the United States, but it commonly used for military ceromonies. The last war it was used in for fighting purposes by the United States was early in Vietnam.

no, the M1 Garand was not. it was cleared for production in November 1935, then standardized in January 1936. it was successfully proof-fired, function-fired, and fired for accuracy in July 1937

Depends on which M1 you had in mind. The M1 carbine is entirely phased out of service. As for the M1 Garand, its only continued use is strictly for ceremonial purposes.

Which battles was the M1 Garand used in during World War 2?

If the Americans were fighting in the battle the M1 Garand was there also. In the pacific and European theatre they were used in every battle America was in in the second world war. While the above is generally true regarding the European theatre, but at the outbreak of the war, there were several units which still had not fielded the Garand yet, particularly in the Marine Corps. The first battles in the Pacific saw units armed primarily with the Springfield M1903, rather than the Garand.

The M1 Garand was the standard issue rifle of US forces during the Second World War.
