The Russians have entered the war in Asia, ostensibly on our side. Washington thinks they are just trying to pick up the scraps after the Japanese have already been defeated. The Russian Army is driving South from North Sakhalin Island into Japanese positions in the South. We need to establish ourselves on the Island to gain bargaining power for Post-war negotiations. An advanced airbase on the island is our first priority. Japanese resistance is expected to be minimal, but the Russians may take offense at our actions. You are to capture the Japanese bases on the east coast of Sakhalin and destroy all resistance to our moves. We leave to your discretion any methods you might employ to stave off Soviet Aggression.
