American Naval Group China

The American Naval Group China was a special U.S. Navy unit established during World War II to support Chinese forces against Japanese occupation. Formed in 1942, it was tasked with organizing, training, and equipping Chinese guerrilla units for coastal raids, sabotage, and intelligence gathering. The group worked closely with the Sino-American Cooperative Organization (SACO), facilitating the flow of supplies and sharing naval expertise. Their operations contributed significantly to disrupting Japanese supply lines and strengthening Chinese resistance until the war’s end in 1945.
