US Army Marauders of Merrill's Marauders During the Battle of Nhpum Ga Near Hsamshingyang, Burma 1944 [4700x5943]

Merrill's Marauders were an elite unit of US Army infantrymen, specially trained to operate deep behind Japanese lines. Almost every operation they carried out required grueling long distance marches through intense jungle only to attack numerically superior Japanese forces. During all of WW2, no American unit covered more ground than them, spanning 1,000 miles during their time on mainland Asia.

Of the 2,750 Marauders to enter Burma, only two were left alive who had never been hospitalized with wounds or major illness. None of the horses and only 41 mules (originally 700 mules/horses) survived. In spite of this, the Marauders still boasted a 14-1 kill ratio against the Japanese.

The Marauders would eventually be disbanded and are the direct historical predecessors of the US Army's 75th Ranger Regiment. The colors/flash of the Marauders are still used by the Ranger Regiment to this day.
