CORREGIDOR - February 16, 1945

Strategic Situation:
The invasion of the Philippines continues.

Tactical Briefing:
Corregidor Island covers the entrance to Manila Bay and although the current defenders are weak, the island will be taken by a combined airborne/amphibious assault for both tactical and sentimental reasons. 

On February 15th the southern port on the Bataan Peninsula (Mariveles) was taken by an amphibious assault. On February 16th the 503rd Parachute Regiment will be dropped on Corregidor and, later that day, elements of your group will perform an amphibious assault from the south side of the island. You still have limited availabilty of your units due to participation elsewhere on Bataan.

You have also been warned to be on the lookout for Japanese suicide boats, which have damaged and sunk a number of ships nearby.

YOU HAVE RECEIVED ORDERS:
Your orders are to land on the SOUTH side of the island, near San Jose and the South Dock. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LAND ANYWHERE ELSE!
