Notes:

(1) Units in italics are attached elsewhere. Spaces after divisional units represent attachments.

(2) Support units below batallion size outside of an immediate parent unit usually not included.

(3) Floating Reserves: 9th U.S. Infantry Division landed in Palermo on 2/8/1943. 46th British Infantry Division did not participate in the Sicily campaign. Sources differ on on whether 9th U.S., 46th British, and 78th British divisions were under corps, army, or army group control at time of landing.

(4) U.S. 3rd Infantry and 2nd Armored Divisions under 7th Army command during landings; later under Provisional Corps from 15/7/43 (Maj. Gen. G. Keyes).
