Jungle divisionとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Jungle Division was a military organisation adopted in 1943 by the Australian Army during the Second World War. This organisation was a much lighter version of the standard British-pattern infantry division used during previous campaigns in the deserts of North Africa and was optimised to meet the needs of jungle warfare against the Japanese in the South West Pacific Area. Jungle divisions were smaller and had fewer heavy weapons, vehicles and support units and despite some modifications, this re-organisation proved quite successful during later Australian operations in New Guinea, New Britain, Bougainville, Aitape-Wewak and Borneo.
