Ko te Rōpū Tuatoru, i raro i te mana o te Pirimia Nui a Jonathan W. Anderson, i muri i te whakapau i te whakangungu maha marama i roto i te United States i muri i te whakaeke Japanese i runga i Pearl Harbor, i kite tuatahi mahi i roto i te pakanga hei wāhanga o te Western Task Force i Operation Torch, te whakaekenga o te Allied o Awherika ki te Raki
, i eke ki Fedala i te 8 o Noema 1942, ka mau ki te haurua o French Morocco. I noho tonu te wehenga ki reira mo nga marama e whai ake nei, no reira kaore i uru ki te pakanga o Tunisia, i mutu i te Mei 1943 me te tuku tata ki te 250,000 hoia Axis i riro i nga herehere o te pakanga (POWs). I a ia i reira, ko tetahi roopu o te 30th Infantry Regiment i mahi hei kaitiaki haumaru i te Huihuinga o Casablanca i waenganui o Hanuere 1943. I te mutunga o Hui-tanguru ka wehe atu a Major General Anderson i te wehenga ka whakakapihia e Major General Lucian K. Truscott, Jr., nana nei i whakatakoto he punaha whakangungu pakeke me te whakarite kia taea e nga rangatira katoa o te wehenga te haere i te rima maero i roto i te haora kotahi, me te wha maero i te haora i muri mai. I huaina e nga hoia ko "te Truscott Trot". I tiimata te wehenga ki te whakangungu kaha ki nga mahi taunga whenua.
