was asking Mundy what is going on here, these troops were landing by accident as they are the support units that are supposed to be based at Kwajalein after the atoll has been retaken by the Allied... so the "real" invasion is going to come tomorrow... while the enemy suffered hundreds of disabled squads during the landing the damage done in the shock attack isn't all that great as only the Marines were attacking...
