WW2 US Army Philippine Scouts Unit X10 1/56 (28mm) Wargames & Collectors

Description

The Philippine Scouts was a military organization of the United States Army from 1901 until after the end of World War II. These troops were generally Filipinos and Filipino-Americans assigned to the United States Army Philippine Department, under the command of American commissioned officers.
They played a significant role in the defense of the Philippines against the Japanese invasion in 1941-1942. Here's a brief history:
1. Formation: The Philippine Scouts were established in 1901, originally as the Philippine Constabulary. They were reorganized into a military unit in 1905 and became known as the Philippine Scouts.
2. Service: The Scouts served under American officers and alongside U.S. forces in various campaigns and conflicts, including during the Philippine-American War and World War I.
3. World War II: When Japan attacked the Philippines in December 1941, the Philippine Scouts were among the first units to engage the invading forces. They fought valiantly alongside American and Filipino soldiers during the defense of Bataan and Corregidor.
4.Bataan Death March: After the fall of Bataan in April 1942, surviving Filipino and American soldiers, including many Philippine Scouts, endured the infamous Bataan Death March, a grueling forced march to prisoner of war camps.
5.Resistance and Liberation. Despite the surrender of American and Filipino forces, some Philippine Scouts continued to resist the Japanese occupation by joining guerrilla movements. They played a crucial role in intelligence gathering and sabotage activities, contributing to the eventual liberation of the Philippines by Allied forces in 1944-1945.
6. Legacy: The Philippine Scouts are remembered for their bravery, sacrifice, and contributions during World War II. After the war, the unit was gradually phased out, but its legacy lives on in the annals of military history and in the memories of the Filipino people.
The Philippine Scouts' courage and sacrifice are honored through various memorials, museums, and commemorative events in the Philippines and the United States. Their story remains an integral part of Filipino-American military history.
