The nature of the enemy and the terrain in the PTO, and long distances that had to be covered, provided significant and diverse challenges to both Army and Marine Corps parachute units. Internal organization, weapons and equipment, command and control, training, combat missions, and combat operations including the 11th Division’s fighting in the Philippines, and the 503rd PIR’s legendary jump onto Corregidor and recapture of the island are all covered.
