1943 December 02 INVADED INVESTED Taung Gyi CHANGED OWNERSHIP Overall • No carrier info. West Coast USA, Alaska, Hawaii • Several DB and TB squadrons flew off the fleet carrier heading to Pearl Harbor to get a head start on drawing replacements. Some DB squadrons upgraded from SBD-3 to SBD-5 which nicely short circuits the 12-plane replacements per week limit. Pacific • Marcus Island is down to about 4,370 stacking (out of 6,000) so we are sending an air HQ and another small base force. It will likely take quite a while to enlarge the airfield so I might send an engineer unit for short term residency. New Zealand, Australia, New Caledonia, New Hebrides, Solomons, Papua New Guinea, New Britain • Our troops have finally cut off all possible retreat paths from the eastern tip of New Guinea; tomorrow the first assault at Buna plus Kokoda will be occupied. The 2nd USMC Raider Bn will land at Milne Bay, making three there. An assault will be launched the following day. • Arm, Eng, Inf, Inf, and HQ units to assault Rabaul are at 81%, 84%, 90%, 90%, and 97% preparation so that operation will commence soon. DEI, Dutch New Guinea, Borneo, Malaya Philippines China India, Burma, Thailand, Indochina Japan, Korea, Manchuria, Russia • Continued minor activity around the Bonins but that is on the edge of our naval search. We have a lot more subs on the way to interdict any traffic there. Complete combat report attached.

If you divide the unit into thirds, each third can take the limit on replacements.
