Infantry Division Unit Comparisons || 1941-42 Philippine Campaign

Could the US-Filipino troops have defended the beaches against the Japanese in 1941? Let's lay the groundwork for answering this question by comparing the strengths of a Philippine Army reserve division, a Japanese Army division and the US Army's Philippine Division.
This will serve as a preliminary video for a multi-hour deep dive on the 1941-42 Philippine Campaign. It was meant to release yesterday, 9 Apr, but well, life gets in the way.

Good to see you doing this after those discussions we had some time ago. As always, there's lots of information here, hours of research. I know you're going to go far with this.

Nice

[@Pulang_Diwa]

This is really interesting. Saw this vid on a Philippine History subreddit. I'm happy to finally learn about the details on the command structure of the USAFFE. (There are very few sources aside from the University Army Press and other independent CZcamsrs) Thanks for citing your sources too. Very helpful for further reading. 👌

Holy damn. I almost didn't recognize you. Glad to see you doing well.
