Merrill of Marauders frontline profile in Burma
Maj. Gen. Frank Merrill leads Merrill's Marauders in northern Burma. He downplays glamour of the 750 mile jungle march, credits American training and planning, and praises air support and Chinese cooperation. Merrill recalls flexible Japanese tactics as their main weakness and notes the unit's successful flank moves culminating at Myitkyina airstrip.
