NOTE
Where occurring


  1. General Situation. Allied Forces occupy the line: MARIANAS-LULITHI-PALAU-MOROTAI and control the eastern approaches to the PHILIPPINES. Carrier and shore-based aircraft strikes have serously reduced enemy air forces in the PHILIPPINES. Japanese air forces in the PHILIPPINES have been so depleted that carrier-borne aircraft are capable of establishing local control of the air at any point along the eastern PHILIPPINES Coast. Air and submarine attacks have inflicted heavy losses on enemy shipping, thus critically hampering his logistic support of his PHILIPPINE Forces.

      Enemy Forces. (Aee Annex N, Intelligence)

    2. Minor Naval Forces composed principally of escort types, torpedo boats constitute the principal defenses of the protected waters of the PHILIPPINE Archipelago.

    3. The waters of LEYTE GULF, the east coast of LEYTE ISLANDS and the majority of sheltered waters in the PHILIPPINES are mined or in the process of being mined.

    4. The PHILIPPINES are honeycombed with an exstensive network of air bases through which the enemy is capable of staging air attacks from remote bases.

    6. The prinicpal strong points of Japanese land, sea and air forces in the CENTRAL PHILIPPINES are centered in the CEBU-LOS NEGROS-PANAY Area.

    7. Enemy Ground Forces on LEYTE ISLAND are estimated to be about 12,000 combat troops with about 4000 service troops. These forces are centered principally in the TACLOBAN and DULASG Areas. They are equipped with tanks and mobile artillery and it is possible that fixed artillery is located in supporting positions covering adjacent beaches.

    8. It is not presently known but it is velieved that beaches on the east coast of LEYTE are defended by barbed wire, obstacles and beach mines.
