USA - Navy Reorganization and Preparations for Japan - 18 May to 30 May 1942
18 May 1942: The 63rd and 70th Assault Divisions were deployed and placed in training....
....while the 2nd Armoured Division and 69th Infantry Division are trained and assigned to 4th Army.I order 4th Army to Pearl Harbour.
I start recruiting the 4th Marine Division.
The Resistance is still high but it's reduced.
Damaged ships are separated from their fleets and placed in US Reserve Fleet 1 then sent to Palau and Wake Island to undergo repairs....
....while 4 trained Battleships and a Submarine are assigned to Asiatic Fleet.
19 May 1942: I also merge the 4th Submarine Squadron with Asiatic Fleet.
I ship 6 divisions from Patton's 5th Army to Okinawa....
....and 7 divisions from SE Asia Army are shipped to Iwo Jima.
I recreate the US Marine Corps at Iwo Jima.
Four more divisions from SE Asian Army are shipped to Iwo Jima.
All 6 Air Groups at Guam are placed on Pilot Exercises.
In the East China Sea a Japanese Fleet has been sighted.
I change the Deployment location of 3 Recruitment missions to Virginia.
I add a Field Hospital Company to all 66 Infantry Divisions.
21 May 1942: That has created deficits for Motorized and Support Equipment.
24 May 1942: I transfer 3 Air Groups from California to Wake Island.
That is not of concern for me.
25 May 1942: I transfer the 22nd Fighter Group from Manila to Okinawa.
26 May 1942: No less than 5 Aircraft Carriers and 7 Battleships are in various stages of repair.
30 May 1942: OSS has been upgraded with Machine-Assisted Decryption(1).
I'm hoping to launch my attack on the Japanese Homeland before the end of June.
