Well, commander, you really let us down that time. The enemy is sending in major reinforcements and it will be plain luck if we do not lose the whole of New Guinea after this fiasco. Headquarters at first wanted to reassign you to training duty back in the States, but were afraid you might have a negative effect on our new men. It has been decided to give you another chance at a combat command. If I was you I would pack some winter clothes . . .
