Easy Company consisted of three rifle platoons. 2nd Platoon was originally led by 2nd Lt. Richard Winters (later promoted to Company X.O.). Warren Roush commanded the platoon during the onset of the invasion of Normandy with 2nd Lt. Lynn "Buck" Compton as his assistant. During Easy Company's time in Normandy, Compton was promoted to platoon leader. Compton was evacuated during Bastogne, which saw the platoon in temporary command by 1st Sergeant Carwood C. Lipton (through Rochamps). Due to a shortage of officers, platoon sergeant Donald Malarkey took charge of the the unit while the company was stationed in Hagunaeu. 1st Lieutenant Jack Foley would command the platoon from Germany to the end of war.
