Taxation shock for army officers over tax exemptions
Army officers and other ranks face large tax bills after the Taxation Department rejects the army group exemptions. Many returned from the Middle East by 1942 and were told they were exempt, but under the Taxation Act they gain only a three month exemption after return. Installments under the army scheme start May 1, 1944, leaving officers liable for back taxes for 1942-43 and 1943-44 with little deduction opportunity.

Island bases rely on sea air links to stay strong
The series of bases like those in the Marshalls stays powerful only when connected by sea and air power. If those links fail, each base becomes isolated and useless, reducing the overall strength. The central Pacific will soon demonstrate this, possibly well beyond Japan's forward lines.
