600th Combat Photo

The 600th Combat Camera (Photo), originally activated during World War II, was a specialized U.S. Army unit tasked with documenting combat operations and military activities through photography and motion picture film. Its personnel were trained to accompany front-line troops, capturing vital images for intelligence, operational analysis, and historical record. The 600th served in various theaters, including the European and Pacific campaigns, providing invaluable visual documentation of key battles and events. Their work not only supported military objectives but also contributed to public understanding and historical preservation of wartime experiences.
