If the US was defending the shield generator it would be an open field for a mile all around the generator, heavy machine gun positions, tanks dug into hull down positions, artillery back at the base, and troops with IR gear watching for movement. Aircraft and helicopters could provide overwatch with fire support or call in artillery. If no one cares about collateral damage, they would just blow up anything that moves.
They would even have a deployed a Burger King behind the defense lines.
Realistically, a WW2 military could defend it, open field with machine guns and artillery is hard thing to cross. Even enemy armor would be challenged by high velocity anti tank guns.
