Central Area Operations: A look at plans.

One division is ready and planning for operations at Kwajalein atol. Movement towards these operations will begin as soon as the Eniwietok amphibious ships return and get some maintenance. The overall invasion force will probably look like 1 Infantry Div, 1 Amphib Armor Battalion, 1 Artillery Regt. This force will be followed up by 3 Enginere Battaions and a Base Force.

As soon as Kwajalein is done and the invasion felet returns, operations against Wake island will commence. In preperation for the Wake operation, a Carrier Task force made up of new ships needing some experience will be brought on station to make bombing runs.

Looming ahead are the Marianas islands of Guam, Siapan, and Tinian. These islands are absolutely critical to allied plans. They are large enough to play host to the bigger bombers, which can be used to take the was to the home islands of Japan.

The last untasked Division (7th Infantry) attached to Central has begun planning for Guam. As soon as the 27th Division finishes moping up on Eniwietok, they will; begin planning for Tinian. Plans are to use 2 more division in the battle, but Allied planners are not sure where these are coming from yet.
