History
Dog Company was an infantry unit within the United States Army that participated in campaigns in Europe and Africa during World War II and fought heavily in Korea during the Korean War. The unit was under the command of Captain Rocke. Its two most well known members were Henry "Combat" Casey and Penny P. Pennington. Other members of the unit include tank enthusiast Buggsy,[1] Georgie who still believed in Santa Claus,[2] and Apache American Roanhorse.[3]
The earliest recorded mission of Dog Company occurred in North Africa sometime in 1943 they clashed with Nazi forces.[3] Most of Dog Company's missions during the war took place in the South Pacific where the unit liberated Futsu Island[4] and later rescued Captain Rocke from enemy soldiers on an unspecified atoll.[2] Dog Company also helped liberate Yoku atoll.[5]
Dog Company was reformed by Captain Rocke during the Korean War, including Combat and Penny among his troops once again. Their first recorded mission was when Combat, Penny, and a tank enthusiast named Buggsie used an enemy tank to attack enemy forces.[1] The unit then sabotaged enemy shells in order to get past artillery guns, then defended a Korean town from being burned down by communist forces.[4] In another clash they detonated a bridge to keep enemy forces from following, later destroying a dam the enemy built on a river to try and get away.[2] Later they used weather balloons as a means of crossing over land mines to capture an enemy force they were after.[5] They then came to the aid of another town that were being robbed by communist troops. Using sheep skins to disguise themselves, Combat, Penny and Dog Company capture the enemy forces in the act. Later thanks to training from Apache American solider Roanhorse, Combat and Penny were able to use smoke signals to warn Dog Company of an enemy attack.[3] Combat later prevented Dog Company from being lured into a trap in the town of Kumchow set by communist forces. During an influential battle along the border between the North and South Korea, Combat and Penny discovered Major Mung's plans to build a giant dragon effigy to scare South Korean soldiers, and helped the South Koreans in constructing an even larger dragon against the one constructed by their communist foes.[6] Later the pair were able to capture important plans from the North Korean army, using a K-9 dog to get the plans to Dog Company.[7]Paraphernalia
