Just as I remembered:
Seventy-five MM half-tracks were held mobile in dug in positions several hundred yards inland, prepared to move on call to prepared firing positions near the water's edge.

Re: Civilians shouldn't do recon.
C was the third type they tried. It was developed before Dec. 7th, and was a peacetime effort. The "K" was finally "perfected" and used with modifications until the MRE came along. It was the K-ration that came with a bottle of Tobasco sauce. Guys would put that sauce on their oatmeal to get a break from the same damn taste every day.DP wrote:What did the C stand for? and were there other types of rations?Gawdzilla wrote:Yeah, but "C-rations" wasn't a TLA and I was on a roll.DP wrote:Meals Ready to Eat(Surely C-Rations at the time though?)
