:11:02
As soon as we reach the junction
of these two rivers...
:11:05
we cross this small range of hills here.
:11:07
The other side of that is the jump field.
:11:09
We'll jump just as soon as we reach
the edge of the field. Is that understood?
:11:13
And, Miggleori, if we happen to run
across any Burmese dancing girls...
:11:18
we can't stop and talk to them.
:11:21
At last reports,
the jump field was undefended.
:11:23
Jap patrols are from 30 to 60 men
that have been spotted at various...
:11:26
places this past month,
usually in this area here.
:11:30
Now, somewhere in this area
is the radar station we're after.
:11:34
It's not going to be a cinch finding it.
:11:36
There's a supply depot located at point X.
:11:39
And it's garrisoned by about 2,000 men.
:11:42
Now, are there any questions so far?
:11:45
- Nebraska.
- There aren't any names on the table.
:11:47
Where is this place?
:11:48
For security reasons, we won't know
until we board the planes.
:11:51
Then you'll be given maps with names,
places, locations. Any other questions?
:11:55
Higgins?
:11:56
If you don't mind, sir,
how do we get back?
:11:59
We'll fly back. Two transports are going
to pick us up at an abandoned airstrip...
:12:03
and fly us back to the base.
:12:05
I'll ask Maj. Fitzpatrick
of the Burma Rifles to tell you more.
:12:08
- Go ahead, Major.
- Thanks.
:12:11
Two years ago,
shortly before evacuating Burma...
:12:14
we had an occasion to construct
an emergency airstrip here.
:12:18
It's still there, and the latest aerial
reconnaissance tells us it's still usable.
:12:22
Following the action against the
radar station, your route of departure...
:12:26
will be track "E"...
:12:27
along here to the abandoned
airstrip at "R2" here.
:12:32
To make sure that you hit the airstrip
on the nose we've assigned...
:12:35
two Gurkha guides from
the Burma Frontier Force to go with you.
:12:38
Col. Holgerkin?
:12:40
They don't speak English
to any worthwhile degree.
:12:43
But they're extraordinarily familiar with
the terrain and the Burmese language.
:12:47
I believe that you will find
them excellent guides.
:12:50
- That's all from me.
- Thank you, Major.
:12:53
The march from the radar station
to the airstrip will be a forced march...
:12:58
that shouldn't last over 11 hours at most.
