Contrary to popular belief, the unit in the film and the characters in it are U.S. Army, not Marines. They are wearing Army herringbone twill fatigue uniforms, and are using M1 Garand rifles, which most Marines on Guadalcanal did not have. The Marines led the invasion of Guadalcanal in August of 1942, but operations were turned over to the Army, who finished the campaign in February of 1943.
