We will soon pass into Vietnam, and link up with Chinese forces pushing from the East. SWPAC Still hitting Ambon, it is closed down and an invasion force is preparing. It is a target of opportunity, not a must have. Our para forces should be now concentrated at Sorong for the next step. The shipping is almost ready at Aru for the follow-on forces, once it is underway the paras will execute. Otherwise trying to sort out units and a defence. Most of our bases are very lightly held, with a couple of "super bases". Reconnoning around the place. CENTPAC Ponope makes level 3 airfield. Forces are preparing for Wake and Marcus. Wake is being hit by LB30. Continuing to sort out the troops and defences. China South of Kukong Tony comes out to play.
