(US509)

The M3A1 37mm anti-tank gun was generally deployed alongside the 81mm mortar in the regimental weapons Platoon. Typically made up of four guns, the anti-tank Platoon was used to cover the Marine riflemen from possible counter-attacks by Japanese tanks. Although the 37mm was obsolete for fighting in Europe by the time the US joined the war, they were perfect for use in the Pacific. Japanese tank development had stagnated and the 37mm could penetrate their armour at most ranges. And as they were relatively light, they could be towed by a jeep or pushed by hand if the terrain was rough.
The bazookas were useful to help stop counterattacking Japanese tanks and could also be fired at other targets such as artillery pieces and field defences.
