Troops in the Grass

Remember if you click on the photos you can see a larger version.

Defense line.

The defenses include both light and heavy artillery.

With infantry here and there to help if needed.

 Plenty of transport nearby in case they have to redeploy.

The Battle Continues

A pause in the battle, as no enemy can be seen.

Is that one?

Here they are, right on top of us!

Bang, bang, bang.

One left, just squeeze off a shot and it's over.

Banzai!

Bullets rip through the air.

Desperate Japanese troops make a Banzai! charge.

Waving their flag they plunge forward.

The first of them are hit.

The American fire automatic weapons into the charging Japanese.

Heroes All

While the jungle looks peaceful violent men lurk there.

Ready to do violence on the enemies of their nation.

Batman will try and protect these Americans.

And Superman fights for the American way.

But first time to strategize with the Generals.

Men of Extraordinary Ablitiy

The command post is secure.

But with the close terrain the enemy could still be close.

Tents provide little protection.

So it takes men of extraordinary ability to fight here.

This is one such man.

The Jungle

The jungle is only one of the enemies.

There are men out here someplace, who seek to do us harm.

So we go forward to search for them.

Under the leadership of our general.

Submachine guns are very useful in the jungle.

Don't be distracted by the beautiful flowers.

Sniper

One way to observe is with a sniper scope.

At normal view the camp looks far away.

And the troops look too small to shoot.

But with the scope they look very close.

It's a good thing the observer is friendly.

The Enemy Could Be Near

Is the enemy out there?

Do you hear them?

Or is that a friendly soldier?

At the base, much of the jungle has been cut back so there is a clear fire area.

One the plantation was neat rows but after a few years of neglect the jungle is moving in.

Keep your weapons at the ready, the enemy could be very near.

Observation in the Jungle

Every shade of green.

How many troops do you see?

How many in this photo?

There are at least three in this picture.

The key is to move slowly, and listen as much as you look.

The Jungle and the Uniform

The troops wear uniforms that are slightly different colors.

Depending on the age of the uniform, how much it's been exposed to sun, and how much it has been washed can really change the color.

The General, of course, is wearing a different uniform, he does not mind looking different or exposing himself to snipers.

The jungle is every shade of green.

And so there is a place for every uniform shade as well.
