A Regimental Combat Team (RCT) was a provisional major infantry unit of the United States Army during World War II and the Korean War, and of the U.S. Marine Corps to the present day. It was formed by augmenting a regular infantry regiment with smaller tank, artillery, combat engineer, mechanized, cavalry, reconnaissance, Signal Corps, air defense, quartermaster, military police, medical, and other support units to enable it to be a self-supporting organization in the combat field. ==World War II== World War II RCTs were generally of two types: #Temporary organizations configured for the accomplishment of a specific mission or series of missions, #Semi-permanent organizations designed to be deployed as a unit throughout a combat theater of operations. An example of the former was the habitual organization of the 337th Regimental Combat Team of the 85th Infantry Division: * 337th Infantry Regiment * 328th Field Artillery Battalion * Company A, 310th Engineer Battalion * Company A, 310th Medical Battalion Examples of the latter were the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, 370th Regimental Combat Team, 158th Infantry Regimental Combat Team, and the 517th Parachute Regimental Combat Team. Regimental Combat Teams combined the high cohesion of traditional regimental organization with the flexibility of tailored reinforcements to accomplish any given mission. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「regimental combat team」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
