∙ 15y agoThe majority of the men that fought and died on Iwo Jima were not soldiers at all. They were United States Marines, and some US Sailors (medical corpsmen). For a listing of those men, a roster of the US Marine Corps 3rd, 4th, and 5th Marine Divisions under the over-all command of Marine Corps General Holland Smith must be researched. For the Japanese Forces: Army General Kuribayashi commanded the Army 109th Infantry Division, which consisted of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade under General Osuga; the 204th Imperial Navy CB's (Construction Battalion); Naval personnel under Admiral Ichimaru; and Japanese Tank Crewmen of the 26th Tank Regiment, commanded by Lt. Colonel Nishi. NOTE* The majority of men fighting on the island of Okinawa were US Soldiers (US Army); General Buckner's 10th Army.

∙ 9y agoNot as such. The only way to obtain a list of every Marine (and Navy Corpsman) who served on Iwo Jima would be to start with every USMC battalion who fought on "Sulphur Island"(the Japanese name for Iwo) and see what records might be available in the Marine Corps Archives.
