442nd Regimental Combat Team which included the 100th Battalion.
This unit consisted of Japanese-Americans from the west coast and Hawaii. They were one of the most decorated units in the US Army. They also had the unique distinction of fighting in Italy alongside the 36th Infantry Division, then transferring to Southern France with the 7th Corps and then were returned back to Italy, where they served until the end of the war. All other units that were pulled out of Italy for the invasion of Southern France did not return.
While in Italy, the 442RCT was attached to the all-Black 92nd "Buffalo" Infantry Division, along with the 478th Regimental Combat Team, which consisted of men who had been trained as anti-aircraft gunners but where re-trained as infantryment. This made the 92nd Infantry Division an inter-racial US unit, having white soldiers, black soldiers and Asian soldiers.
