It explains the organization of the Marine infantry regiment and its equipment, and how they evolved during the war. The marine infantrymans evolving uniforms, field equipment and weapons are illustrated throughout using specially commissioned artwork and detailed descriptions to produce a fitting portrait of the US militarys elite fighting force in the Pacific.
