	Operation Galvanic (2): The Battle for Makin, November 1943
		Ironically, Makin had been the subject of a raid by the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion on the 17th August 1942, about the same time as the 1st Marine Division were landing on Guadalcanal.
		The division began planning its part in Galvanic, the assault on Nauru (codenamed Operation Kourbash), but Spruance changed its objective from Nauru (a relatively well defended objective that would require more troops than there was available troop transports to lift) to the Japanese seaplane base at Makin.
		The 27th Infantry and 2nd Marine Divisions were subordinate to the V Amphibious Corps for planning and preparation purposes, while during the assault itself, they would both report to their respective task force commanders.

	Makin:Preparing the Attack
		The staff of the 27th Division were acquainted with their mission in a joint conference with the staff of CinCPOA, early in August 1943, and set about studying a reorganization to fit its requirements.
		While the 27th Division Landing Team, with attached units, took Makin, the 2d Marine Division was to assault Tarawa, leaving one of its combat teams in reserve for the support of one or both operations.
		ALLIGATORS AT MAKIN were used to carry the first assault troops ashore, to convey wounded to the transports, serve as ferries from barges unable to clear the reefs, and take troops on special trips to outlying islands.

	Makin and Tarawa
		On November 20th, Operation:Galvanic was initiated.The 27th Infantry Division invaded Makin.They found a weak garrison defending the island, only 800 strong.The island fell into Allied hands in four days, with all resistance being crushed for a loss of 65 men.
		In my opinion, the U.S. Marines fought with supreme courage.From this battle forward, the Japanese threw everything they had at them, even themselves!
		Both sides fought bravely but the Marines were going to win.They were too determended.

		Ralph C. Smith, reported on 23 November, "Makin taken." In the end the most difficult problem in capturing Makin, as one might have expected, was coordinating the actions of the two separate landing forces, a problem made more difficult because the defenders did not respond as had been anticipated...

		General Richardson was unable to meet the request and informed the 7th Division commander that he would have to draw his shore parties from garrison troops assigned to the occupation of Kwajalein after the assault phase was completed, that is the 3d and 4th Army Defense Battalions.
		Late in the preparatory phase, the division initiated a request for an increase in the total number of units of fire to be taken to the Marshalls.

	ABOUT WORLD WAR II (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Thus, in ground forces, the United States had the equivalent of three divisions in the Pacific to stand in the path of the Imperial Japanese Army.
		The Australian 7th Division soon returned from North Africa, where it had been fighting the Germans, and two U.S. National Guard divisions, the 32d and the 41st, arrived in April and May. MacArthur had enough planes for two bomber squadrons and six fighter squadrons.
		In October soldiers of the Americal Division joined the battle; in November the Navy won a smashing victory in the waters offshore; and in early 1943 the Army's 25th Infantry Division was committed as well.

	Sony earnings increase while games division incurs losses - Joystiq
		The games division had $1.06bn (Yes, US dollars) in operating REVENUE, not profit (which is down 29.1% this year from 1.5bn last year, not a good thing).
		I haven't seen this one yet but in the previous quarter, their game division was responsible for something like 3% of their total profits - most of their profit comes from financial services, with movies in second place and "all other" (which includes music) in third.
		But they expect all of their major divisions to be self-sufficient, and at least last quarter, 4 of the 5 were (the one that wasn't was the electronics division; sounds like they may have turned that around, but now it's the game division that's the odd man out).

		As a rule, they were requested to write their comments before that the bulk of data concerning the campaign was published: this limited the hindsight effect.

		Unfortunately, as we have to draw supply from Division HQ, having no column supply units of our own, (and with Division HQ forced to relocate away from us) has meant we have now run out of food and artillery ammunition.
