• So far Ledo is back over 16,700 supply after stopping fort construction and moving out many engineer and base units. Looking for that 20,000 mark so a number of dwindling units can take replacements to get full supply movement into China moving again without moving the units to Calcutta and losing event more transport time.

• 2nd British Div has formed from its components at Bombay and will move to Jorhat, as will an RAF base force. They will bolster air base building and support to prepare for 4EB. Two AA units are moving there for defense. When Chittagong makes fortification level 5 (presently 4+83%) dedicated engineer units will move from there to Jorhat.

I have not had a chance to read back a dozen posts or so but will shortly. I commend you on the central Australia front given the
difficult supply conditions there. I tried something similar but was repulsed. It was before the Aussie armor units refitted.
