Combat! is an American television program that originally aired on ABC from 1962 until 1967. (The exclamation point in "Combat!" was a stylized bayonet.) The show covered the grim lives of a squad of American soldiers fighting the Germans in France during World War II, and starred Rick Jason as platoon leader Second Lieutenant Gil Hanley and Vic Morrow as Sergeant "Chip" Saunders.
"Combat!" premiered on ABC October 2, 1962 and was broadcast for five seasons. TV's longest-running World War II drama (through May 2012), "Combat!" aired 152 hour-long episodes. The first four seasons, spanning 127 episodes, were produced in black and white, with the final season, 25 episodes long, filmed in color. The show was developed by Robert Pirosh, who wrote the pilot episode.
