The US Marine Corps introduced war dog platoons in 1943. Dogs first
took part in the Bougainville operation in November, and went on to
support US Marine forces at Guam and Peleliu in 1944, and Iwo Jima and
Okinawa in 1945. The majority of the dogs used were Doberman Pinschers
and the remainder German Shepherds.Dogs were trained as scout
dogs or messenger dogs. Scout dogs alerted their handlers to the
presence of enemy positions, ambushes and hidden snipers, and proved
very effective in this role – often alerting troops to the presence of
enemy machine gun nests or sniper positions before they came under fire.
Other dogs were trained to carry messages between Marine units. Again
they proved more effective than runners, although often coming under
fire or even suffering wounds in the course of duty.Contents: two metal handler and two metal dog figures with plastic bases.

Providing long range fire support for US commanders, the 75mm pack
howitzer makes it's way into battle hardened hand of the USMC - raining
shells from above onto the enemies of Uncle Sam!
The 75mm howitzer saw combat during the Second World War with the US
Marine Corps. Being designed in such a way that it could be broken down
into several pieces and carried by pack animals, hence it's name, it was
an ideal support weapon in the steep hills and jungle terrain of the
Far East.
The rules for the 75mm Howitzer can be found in the Armies of the
United States along with the rules for the rest of the massed forces of
Uncle Sam, if your focus is going to be the steamy jungles of the Far
East then look no further than Empire in Flames.
