Townsville, Horn Island, Solomons, New and Improved Caledonia, Fiji, New Zealand.

Hard to decide what to do with New and Improved Caledonia. It can be a great speed bump but we will probably lose eventually.

2 USMC Regiments and 1 US Army Regt unloading at Auckland. Should we send more to Noumea...keep as reserve?
