Although the 100th, like all US
infantry divisions in WWII, was a combined arms organization with its own
infantry, light and medium artillery, combat engineers, and mechanized
cavalry troop, it was supported by a variety of separate Corps and Army
assets in the execution of several missions.
Some of these outfits remained
attached to the 100th, in part or entirely, throughout almost all of its
combat in the ETO. By contributing unique battlefield capabilities and
providing mobility or firepower beyond that available from integral
Division resources, each of them played a vital role in the Division’s
victories.
