Description
Soldiers help each other prepare for a march near Fuji, Shizuoka Prefecture.
Last August I was with B Company, 100 th Infantry Battalion / 442nd Regimental Combat Team Reenactment Group for the annual summer training and this yearβs camp was inspired by the training at the Louisiana Maneuver Area that the real life 100th Infantry Battalion (Separate) participated in before shipping out for Italy. It may not have been swampland, at least not until the rain started, but it was nearing 100 degrees with an almost swimmable amount of moisture in the air.

Do they do the Japanese WWII army, or are these guys their antagonists in re-enactments.

As a unit, they do just this but individually some of them do other impressions as well.

I thought they might also be doing Isei in the U.S. Army--which I think you indicated with the unit number and 'departing to Italy.'

Since they represent the Nisei of the 100th, they never do battle with the Imperial Japanese Army, but we have had training against 'Germans.'
