The United States of America - 37th Infantry Division 6th US Army Comprised mostly of National Guardsmen from Ohio and surrounding states, the “Buckeye” Division were veterans of the fighting on Bougainville by the time of their landing on Luzon in early 1945. After spearheading the landings at Lingayen Gulf, the soldiers of division pushed southwards toward the capitol, until they were slowed by the entrenched Japanese forces at Clark Field. Once this obstacle was cleared, it would be they that would bear the brunt of the street fighting to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8af05fac0b6b2f1661cc0b/1642234867210-1ZFNUCFMXLJDNLZCGNUV/1st+Cavalry+Division.png Day by Day: Manila Revisited Context - The United States of America - 1st Cavalry Division 6th US Army The famous 1st Cavalry Division had started the Second World War still mounted on horseback, but that had changed drastically by 1945.

Ordered by MacArthur to get to the city as quickly as possible, the 1st Cavalry formed a Flying Column to charge into the city, becoming the first American forces in Manila since MacArthur had abandoned it in late 1941. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8af05fac0b6b2f1661cc0b/1669530603116-5ML3MCJEXUSQ60HYJ22V/11th+Airborne+Division.png Day by Day: Manila Revisited Context - The United States of America - 11th Airborne Division 8th US Army The 11th Airborne, known as the “Angels”, had been held in reserve until the Invasion of Leyte in late 1944, fighting as infantry.
