Event details
Background Information
The Makin Raid was the first of many raids on small Japanese held islands pertinent to the United States island-hopping campaign. These small islands provided supply points and gave the United States Pacific Theatre a whole new ground to fight for. A special operations group was formed under the name "Carlsons Raiders", or the United States Marine Raiders. The Marine Raiders are known for their stealth tactics, heavy firepower and emphasis on light infantry warfare.
Additional Mods
You will be required to use our 101st Airborne preset and the Archipelago mod.
Additional Information
Since we're operation as Marine Raiders in 1942, we have some modifications to the squad layout. Each squad will contain nine men, and we will be doing away with the Assistant Platoon Commander in favor for a Section Leader. The section leader is tasked with commanding the sections in the assault in the absence of the PSgt or Plt Co... and leading squads/teams as needed. Here is the proposed layout that doesn't strictly follow the actual Battle Order (three filegroups instead of two), but it still represents it fairly well.
