Lee,

Below is a good page showing the organizational chart of the 100th Infantry Divison and is typical of all US infantry divisions from 1944 on. Special units were added as needed, especially Tank/Tank Destroyer Battalions and Automatic AA Weapons battalions. These additions were more common in the ETO than the PTO. As a result of this added battalions, US infantry divisions late in the war often had more armor than did a German panzer division and upped the number of men in the infantry division to around 20,000 men.
