Uniform ensemble for a member of an amphibious unit from WWII. Comes with M1 helmet, jacket undergarment and various gear.

The United States has a long history in amphibious warfare from the landings in the Bahamas during the American Revolutionary War, to some of the more massive examples of World War II in the European Theater of Operation on Normandy, in Africa and in Italy, and the constant island warfare of the Pacific Theater of Operations. Throughout much of its history, the United States prepared its troops in both the United States Marine Corps and the United States Army to fight land from sea into the center of battle.
