All, this is my first post to this sub. I enjoy reading all the great historical inform ation here.

​

I am a screenwriter and in my final polish of a screenplay about Kasserine. In this story, I describe an Army Unit (the Red Bulls, 34th Infantry Division) as they deploy to Ireland to train for amphibious landings in prapartion for Operation Torch in November 1942.

One of my reviewers has questioned one of my scenes where a British drill sergeant overseeing/directs (in a most cynical manner) American troops as they navigate a muddy obstacle course in Ireland.

My reviewers comment is this: "Is this historically accurate? Were U.S. troops trained by the Brits? My understanding was that it was highly segregated by allied nation."

He does have a point and frankly, I might have extended my thought of accuracy on this one.

​

Can anyone help me clarify how that training was accomplished and if it was segregated or a mix of allied experience?

I do know that some of the units were trained as Commandos for special operations. I do not cover that portion in my story. I'm just looking for some technical accuracy on the Brits training the US Army.

The unit in my story centers around the 168th Infantry Regiment, under the 34th Infantry Division.

Any help is so much appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

The Addicted Screenwriter.
