Page 2: Guadalcanal Marines re-capturing 40 US 75mm guns that were captured by the Japanese in the Philippines—interesting how our captured equipment was used by the enemy.

Excluding in the heat of an immediate battle, did the US ever re-purpose captured enemy equipment?

I don't know about the USA but the Brits had no problem "repurposing" captured panzers.
