Other Wisconsin National Guard units serving in World War II included the 135th Medical Regiment, which served from Australia to Luzon, and Company A of the 192nd Tank Battalion, which arrived at Corregidor just before Pearl Harbor and was part of the Bataan Death March after U.S. and Philippine forces there fell to the Japanese in April 1942.  The Battle of Luzon was a land battle fought as part of the Pacific Theater of Operations of World War II by the Allied forces of the U.S., its colony the Philippines, and allies against forces of the Empire of Japan. The battle resulted in a U.S. and Filipino victory. The Allies had taken control of all strategically and economically important locations of Luzon by March 1945, although pockets of Japanese resistance held out in the mountains until the unconditional surrender of Japan.[3] While not the highest in US casualties, it is the highest net casualty battle US forces fought in World War Two, with 192,000 to 205,000 Japanese combatants killed, 8,000 Americans combatants killed, and between 120,000 to 140,000 Filipino civilians and combatants killed.
