[QUOTE="Hans Blaster, post: 76669587, member: 396028"] I've not been in the military, and don't have much familiarity with mid-20th Century US jargon, but I saw the post in the new thread feed and though I'd give this puzzle a go. (I'm a little better at mid-19th century.) [No searching or reference works used.] OK the first part gives information on the enemy. It references a map in an intel summary from COMPHIBPAC. [This is one of those lovely military acronyms that they use from SECDEV on down. The last part is clearly "Pacific". COM could be "command or commander". PHI might be Philippines, but that's all I got.] The enemy has an estimated division holding the Hill 820 complex located at grid coordianates 940713-951716 on the map. [Not sure if MLR is part of the name of the hill complex or connected to "holding" and describing the nature of the emplacement of the enemy troops.] There are forward positions of approximately battalion strength at a road junction at grid coordinate 948715 on the map. The overall mission is for the 1/7 Battalion to capture objective A (the road junction occupied by the enemy battalion), hold that position and defend against counter attack. Overall execution plan. 1/7 Battalion to landing zone "X" at coordianate 946710 at (H-hour) 0600 on the 31st. A ground strike force from Company A will secure the landing zone 10 minutes before the main landing (H-10, 0550). 5 minutes after landing (H+5, 0605) Company B will advance along the map axis labeled "BLUE" to create a blocking position at the landing zone for the security of the rest of the battalion. At H+10 (0610) the remainder of the battalion (companies A, C, and D) will advance toward the objective along the axis labeled "BROWN". The battalion will use frequency setting of 52.9 on their tactical radios. I assume HAZTRCEGBD is a setting to secure the comms. Air support from Division will respond to the call sign "playboy". Not sure what air panels are, but the battalion is instructed to use them or green smoke to mark their positions so they don't get bombed. Use white phosphorous to mark anything to be attacked by the fly boys. [/QUOTE]
