US Marine Corps Divisions in World War II

Our Latest Print

World War II Movements and Operations of the U.S. Marine Corps.

The route map on the left provides a detailed summary of each Marine division's progress across the Pacific from the US to Japan. Text blocks narrate parts of the advance, providing insight into unit movements over four years of combat. The map traces the sequence of operations and the vast distances traveled by the Marines.

On the right is a timeline of the organization and combat history of each division. Every major combat operation is provided from Guadalcanal to Tarawa to Saipan to Iwo Jima.  

This print was developed using official unit histories, the History of U.S. Marine Corps Operations in World War II from the Historical Branch of the U.S. Marines, and many other resources from key military experts.

We are donating a percentage of our sales from this print to non-profits dedicated to veterans and service members of the U.S. Marine Corps.
