Odd Unit Designations
Anyone care to take a crack at who the 5307th Composite Unit, Provisional were?
Give up?
In World War II they were officially the 5307th Composite Unit, Provisional; operated under the operational code word of GALAHAD Force and were known to the press as "Merrill's Marauders".
Their linage is carried on by the 75th Rangers.
