Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao, i uru a Fuller ki te ope taua o te United States. I whakawhiwhia ia hei hoia hiko ki te 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, a i kite ia i nga pakanga pakari. I whai wāhi ia ki ngā taunga i
Africa, Sicily, me Normandy, a ka kite ano hoki i nga mahi i Belgium me Czechoslovakia. I te tau 1945, i tae ia ki te whakaoranga o te puni whakaraerae Tiamana i Falkenau ka pupuhi i nga riipene 16-mm, e mohiotia ana ko "V-E +1", i whakauruhia ki roto i te tuhinga French "Falkenau: The Impossible" (1988). I te tau 2014, i tohua te riipene mo te United States National Film Registry. Mo tana mahi hoia, i whakawhiwhia a Fuller ki te whetu hiriwa, whetu parahi, Purple Heart, me te tohu Infantryman. I eke ia ki te tūranga o te rangatira. I whakamahia e Fuller ana wheako pakanga hei rauemi i roto i ana kiriata, ina koa i roto i te "The Big Red One" (1980), te ingoa ingoa mo te 1st Infantry Division. Whai muri i te pakanga, i uru a Fuller ki te tuhi i tetahi hitori o te 16th Infantry.
