The 442nd Infantry Regiment was an infantryregiment of the United States Army. The regiment including the 100th Infantry Battalion is best known as the most decorated unit in U.S. military history,[4] and as a fighting unit composed almost entirely of second-generation American soldiers of Japanese ancestry (Nisei) who fought in World War II. Beginning in 1944, the regiment fought primarily in the European Theatre,[5] in particular Italy, southern France, and Germany. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team (RCT) was organized on March 23, 1943, in response to the War Department's call for volunteers to form the segregated Japanese American army combat unit. More than 12,000 Nisei (second-generation Japanese American) volunteered. Ultimately 2,686 from Hawaii and 1,500 from mainland U.S. internment camps assembled at Camp Shelby, Mississippi in April 1943 for a year of infantry training.[6] Many of the soldiers from the continental U.S. had families in internment camps while they fought abroad.[7] Meaning to risk everything in order to achieve victory, the unit's motto was "Go For Broke".[8][4][5][6][9][10][11][excessive citations] Before they left Mississippi, the 442nd was given permission to use the slogan it wanted, "Go For Broke," the shooters' cry to "shoot the works."
