		On December 7, 1941 Imperial Japanese forces sank the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, bombed the U.S. Army’s Far East Air Force at Clark Field in the Philippines, attacked British Hong Kong, and landed troops on the shores of British Malaya, simultaneously.
		From there the POWs were forced into overcrowded "40 and 10" railroad cars, which had only enough room for them to sit down in shifts, on the final leg to Capas, Tarlac province, and Camp O'Donnell, a former Phillipine Army training camp, on the notorious "March of Death," the Bataan Death March.
		As MacArthur’s forces, supported by Filipino guerrillas, who often included "paroled" Philippine Scouts along with former Philippine Commonwealth Army soldiers as well as some common criminals and assorted bandits, liberated the Philippine Islands, the surviving Philippine Scouts stepped forward and rejoined the U.S. Army.

		Both commanders had to prepare their defenses against opponents with superior air and naval forces and with ground forces possessing mobility and fire power with which both were unable to cope.
