It tells the story of the 522nd Field Artillery Battalion (FAB) which was part of the all-Japanese American 442nd Regimental Combat Team (RCT).

Each gun battery had four guns that were manned with a crew of seven. Known for their fast and accurate fire, the 522nd participated in the fierce campaigns fought in Italy and France. The 522nd also saw action in Germany, as the Allied offensive turned to Berlin.
