Aeronautical Charts, J-D~GN - lil.oce.CCO.
Coast and jeodetic Survey, i-ULcN - l:20C,00C.
Cf the estimated ltl.COO trocps non disposed throughout LUllCN, 101,000
are probably mobile combat troops and the remainder bjse defense and
service troops. I n n c i p a l identified combat units are the 6th Div
i s i o n , the 2nd Armored d i v i s i o n , the newly activated 103rd and lC5th
I/ivisions, ind probably the 5?U anJ 61at Independent V.ixed Brigades
and %.-.•> 2(U lndepenuent Infintry ieîaent. It i s probable that the
enemy will expand the above mentioned independent mixed brigades to
divisions by the absorption of miscellaneous small combat and service
units. In ChM'kAi. LL^CN, defined on the nort\east by a line running
from SA,\ KLhMANLC (LA 1.7.1 CN) to bAl^h dAY and on the south by a line
running from I-ANILA OAY e a r t anJ west through OAMTK (CITY), there
are an estimated 77,000 troops, of v.hich 2J7,OOO are first line dombat
troops. The remaining are base defense «nJ service troops, but many
of these will probably be used in a combat capacity. It i s believed
probable thjt at least onp new division has moved into this area to
replace U t recently departed Cfcth Division. The 2nd Armored Div
ision har been located in this area wit!, an apparent, minimum of 300
tanks of a l l types. Cn th« nort>- flank, disposed in the remaining
portion of i.CK: ^ni, iXi^h, there are an estimated -7,SOT troops, of
which :">,000 are reported to be combat troops of the 103rd Division
wit. headquarters at IWuLJ.w.»i., 3n unidentified division in the SAN
KckN-^Lv. (i_i '..!.!.) Hreo an.' an unidentified independent mixed brigade
iii t.'e VJ. JA ;. areo. Th^re are an estimated 31,000 troops, of which
«r'l,COO are probably combat troojs on the ~A. ,O.'JA., iL;.j.NLLLA where the
ft: and a probable additional unidentified division are located* Cf
the 15,>0C troops in the J-XLCJ. ii.Kj.Ki.LxA, probably 10,000 are of the
lC_,t:i division known to be located there, irincipal concentrations
are at U.J*~H, !>««.,, },ir.Ai.*Lt _,-d A.J...LN^. i t i s believed that
there i s at least one accitionui unidentified division which has
recently arrivtd in U;LVI\, end that there i s every probability
that at least two more may arrive prior to S-Day, and that the pre
ponderance of enemy strength will be in the **fcjiih*i. xAJ^N area.
I t i s believed that there are at least two divisions now disposed
in the i-.mediate UWGAYEN GULF area. It i s likely that a mobile
striking force of division strength will be held along the general
line - Cii-i.Lj.K'j - J-v-OAlib, and i t arrears logical that the enemy will
have additional strong mobile forces in the vicinity of CABAKHTUAN
(NLJ-.A ECxJ^») and ÂK » UTJ\.JU»J (i«Jia-jiMi.n). The enemy has an un
determined number of lon<---range coast defense guns on either side
of Ulv^Yt-N JIU. located generally on CAIL bCUNAC . SANTIAGO
io^jtli. anO between 1-t^j.LAO and AkJv.«Y, nith strong fortifications
ruiinin. from i>L«^- to i-AN r^tx >N'. LIN'JAYEN 'Jl/xJ1 ia reported to be
mined. Due to repeated Allied carrier-based air attacks, the es
timated enemy air strength in the xhx*J.ixlNXi> as of f November was
reduced to a nominal fi, ure of 16.C f i l t e r s and 170 bombers.
The energy gives every indication that he will make an all-out
aerial defense and has th-. capability of greatly increasing his
air strength by staîn^ i t planes from Chj.k», JrOHtQUA anJ the
tb^xtl. and by shore-basiHc; the complements of aircra.'t carriers.
However, the imminent threat to the x^Jiifc, posed by our F l e e t , may
act as a jOAirful deterrent to a lar t 'e-scale aerial reinforcement
of WJCL. The Japanese f l e e t may be expected to offer a substantial
threat to our convoys, even to the point of risking a large-scale
naval »>n/7acement.
