United States Army (Default Unit)
The United States entered World War II with the Allies following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. With a "Europe first" strategy, the Allies landed in North Africa by the end of 1942, to open a second front and relieve German pressure on the Soviets. The 1943 invasions of Sicily and mainland Italy brought the U.S. and Commonwealth armies to mainland Europe. Operation Overlord in June 1944 brought the forces into France, where they continued to fight through Belgium, the Netherlands, and finally into Germany. The United States Army was the backbone of their fighting force, spearheaded by the infantry divisions.

General Patton requested the division spearhead the invasion of Sicily, where they saw heavy action upon landing and later in the mountainous terrain of the Italian island. They returned to England and prepared for the invasion of Normandy. On D-Day, 1st Infantry troops were part of the first wave on Omaha Beach. The division fought through France to reach the German border and laid siege to the city of Aachen. After fighting in the Hürtgen Forest, the division was moved to the Ardennes Forest in 1944 to counter the German offensive. The 1st spearheaded towards the Siegfried Line, captured the bridge at Remagen, and encircled the Germans in the Ruhr Pocket. By the end of the war, they had reached Czechoslovakia.

82nd Airborne Division, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment
The first airborne unit of the U.S. Army, the 82nd Airborne Division was activated in 1942. Their first combat drop was during the invasion of Sicily in 1943. They also parachuted into mainland Italy during the invasion of Salerno. During the battle of Anzio, Germans nicknamed 82nd soldiers "Devils in baggy pants". Gliders and paratroopers landed in Normandy during the D-Day invasion. The 82nd paratroopers fought 33 continuous days with over 5,200 casualties. The men dropped once again during Operation Market Garden and fought for the Grave and Nijmegen bridges. A bold river crossing finally enabled the paratroopers to take the bridge, with the support of British armor. During the Battle of the Bulge in 1944, 82nd paratroopers faced overwhelming amounts of Waffen-SS troops. They were forced to withdraw, held their ground, and eventually forced the Germans to retreat in early 1945.

101st Airborne Division, 506th Parachute Infantry Division
The 101st Airborne Division formed in 1942, and their pathfinders were among the first boots on the ground during the D-Day Invasion in June 1944. The paratroopers jumped on three drop zones behind Utah Beach to help disrupt German defenses. In September 1944, they parachuted into The Netherlands as part of Operation Market Garden, to capture and secure key bridges and the "Hell's Highway" for British armor to advance. During the Ardennes Offensive by the Germans in late-1944 and into 1945, the 101st were transported by truck to reinforce Bastogne. German Panzer Divisions surrounded the town and demanded their surrender, but acting commander General McAuliffe responded with a note that famously said: "NUTS!".

Grenadier Guards
During the Second World War, the regiment was expanded to six service battalions, with the re-raising of the 4th Battalion, and the establishment of the 5th and 6th Battalions. The Grenadier Guards' first involvement in the war came in the early stages of the fighting when all three regular battalions were sent to France in late-1939 as part of the British Expeditionary Force. Later, in 1941, there was a need to increase the number of armoured and motorised units in the British Army and as a result many infantry battalions were converted into armoured regiments; the 2nd and 4th Battalions were re-equipped with tanks, while the 1st Battalion was motorised. The 1st and 2nd (Armoured) Battalions were part of the 5th Guards Armoured Brigade, attached to the Guards Armoured Division, and the 4th Battalion was part of the 6th Guards Tank Brigade Group.
