Mission briefing: Operation "Typhoon Fury"
21st of June 1944, 08:00
Location: Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands
Situation:
US Marines and Army troops are fighting hard in the Mariana Islands. Japan still controls the northern part of Saipan, including a strategic airfield. The airfield is not operational but acts as the primary base for Japanese forces on Saipan. The enemy has established an artillery battery that is continuously shelling our positions and hindering our advance. Japanese air forces in the area are assessed to be weak but cannot be completely ruled out.
